ABSTRACT


In the present paper, MHD flow past an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable temperature and constant mass diffusion in the presence of Hall current is studied. The fluid considered is an electrically conducting, absorbing-emitting radiation but a nonscattering medium. The Laplace transform technique has been used to find the solutions for the velocity profile and Skin friction. The velocity profile and Skin friction have been studied for different parameters like Schmidt number, Hall parameter, magnetic parameter, mass Grashof number, thermal Grashof number, Prandtl number, and time. The effect of parameters are shown graphically and the value of the Skin-friction for different parameters has been tabulated.


Keywords: MHD flow; Hall current; variable temperature; constant mass diffusion.
