Abstract

The effects of variable suction/injection on the unsteady two-dimensional free convective flow with mass transfer of an electrically conducting fluid past a vertical accelerated plate in presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Solutions of the equations governing the flow are obtained with the help of the power series. The paper is concluded with a discussion of the results obtained.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Arbeit werden die Wirkungen verÄnderlicher Absaugung/Ausblasung auf die instationÄre zweidimensionale freie Strömung mit Stoffübertragung eines elektrisch leitenden Fluids an einer senkrecht beschleunigten Wand mit magnetischem Querfeld betrachtet. Lösungen erhÄlt man mit Hilfe von PotenzansÄtzen. Die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
