UNSTEADY FREE CONVECTION FLOW OF THIRD GRADELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FLUID PAST AN INFINITEVERTICAL PLATE

Abstract

In this paper the problem of, unsteady, hydromagnatic free convective flow of
viscous incompressible and electrically conducting third order fluids past in infinite
vertical Porous plate in the presence of constant suction and heat absorbing sinks is
considered. It is found that the velocity and temperature distribution equations are
controlled by different dimensionless parameters, namely, Grashof number Gr,
prandtl number pr, Eckert number Ec, sink strength s, material moduli β and
coecostic parameter α. An analytic solution for each of the velocity and the
temperature distribution is obtained. The velocity and temperature distributions are
shown graphically taking many cases of Gr, pr, Ec, s, β and α.
