Thermo-diffusion effects on the magnetohydrodynamic natural convection flow of a chemically reactive Brinkman type nanofluid in a porous medium

An investigation on the unsteady MHD natural convection heat and mass transfer flow of an electrically conducting, viscous, incompressible, chemically reactive and heat-absorbing nanofluid of Brinkman type past an exponentially accelerated moving vertical plate with ramped wall temperature and ramped surface concentration is carried out. Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and Laplace Transform Technique is used to find the exact solutions for fluid velocity, fluid temperature and species concentration. The quantities of physical interest, i.e. skin friction, rates of heat and mass transfers at the plate are also calculated. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and species concentration of the fluid are demonstrated with the help of graphs whereas those of skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfers at the plate are displayed in tables for various flow parameters.
