Abstract

An analytical study of MHD free-convective and mass-transfer flow past a moving infinite vertical plate, in a rotating fluid, is presented, taking into account the thermal diffusion effects. The solution of the problem is obtained with the help of the Laplace transform technique. Analytical expressions are given for the velocity field and for skin-friction for two different cases, e.g., when the plate is impulsively started, moving on its own plane (case I) and when it is uniformly accelerated (case II). The effects on the velocity field and skin-friction, of the various parameters entering into the problem, are discussed with the help of graphs.
