Abstract

A numerical analysis is carried out for an unsteady free convective, radiative, chemically reactive, radiation absorption, viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical porous plate in the presence of sink. The set of non-dimensional governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved numerically. The effect of various physical parameters on flow quantities are studied with the help of graphs. For the physical interest, the variations in skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also studied through tables.

Keywords
