Thermo-diffusion, chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip effects on MHD rotating flow of micro-polar fluid past an infinite vertical porous surface

Abstract

The current study explores the consequences of thermo-diffusion, chemical reaction, Hall and ion-slip impacts on unsteady heat and mass transport of free convective hydro-magnetic micro-polar liquid flow enclosed in a semi-infinite porous plate within a gyratory frame with transverse magnetic field and convective boundary conditions. The non-dimensional governing equations are systematically solved by means of the finite element method. Using graphical profiles, the outcomes of a variety of significant parameters within the boundary layer are addressed. Additionally, the local skin friction coefficient and rates of heat and mass transports in expressions of the local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented digitally in a tabular form, and it was found that the Nusselt number and Sherwood number remain constant with all the varying pertinent parameters.
