Mass Transfer and MHD Effects on Unsteady Porous Stretching Surface Embedded in a Porous Medium With Variable Heat Flux in The Presence of Heat Source

An unsteady two dimensional boundary layer flowof a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid over aporous stretching surface embedded in a porous medium in thepresence of heat source or sink is studied in chapter 7. Theunsteadiness in the flow and temperature fields is caused by thetime dependence of the stretching velocity and the surface heatflux. The governing partial differential equations aretransformed into a system of ordinary differential equationsusing similarity variables, which is then solved numerically byapplying shooting method using Runge-Kutta method. Thesolution is found to be dependent on the governing parametersincluding the Prandtl number, porous parameter, heat source/sink parameter, suction or injection parameter andunsteadiness parameter. Comparison of numerical results ismade with previously published results under the special cases,and found to be in good agreement. Effects of the Prandtlnumber, porous parameter, heat source /sink parameter, suctionor injection parameter and unsteadiness parameter on the flowand heat transfer are examined.
