The unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid passing through a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium in the presence of chemical reactions and thermal radiation is investigated. The effects of the Hall current, rotation and Soret are studied. Using the perturbation approach, one can obtain an accurate analytical solution to the governing equations for the fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration, provided that the initial and boundary conditions are acceptable. It is possible to obtain expressions for the shear stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer for both plates with the ramping temperature and isothermal conditions. On the one hand, the numerical values of the primary and secondary fluid velocities, fluid temperature, and species concentration are presented graphically. On the other hand, the numerical values of the shear stress and rate of mass transfer for the plate are presented in tabular form for various values of the relevant flow parameters. These values are given for a range of pertinent flow parameters. It was determined that an increase in the Hall and Soret parameters over the whole fluid area leads to a corresponding increase in the resulting velocity. The resultant velocity continually climbs to a high level due to the contributions of the thermal and solute buoyancy forces. Lowering the heat source parameter reduces the temperature distribution, resulting in a lower overall temperature. When there is a rise in the chemical reaction parameter over the whole fluid area, there is a corresponding decrease in the concentration. The concentration buoyancy force, Hall current, and Prandtl number reduce the skin friction. On the other hand, the permeability of the porous medium, rotation, chemical reaction, the Soret number, thermal buoyancy force, and mass diffusion all have the opposite effects on the skin friction.

This article describes the incompressible two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting second-grade fluid flow in a porous medium with Hall and ion slip effects, diffusion thermal effects, and radiation absorption effects. It is assumed that the fluid is a gray, absorbing–emitting but non-scattering medium and the Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. It is assumed that the liquid is opaque and absorbs and emits radiation in a manner that does not result in scattering. It is considered an unsteady laminar MHD convective rotating flow of heat-producing or absorbing second-grade fluid across a semi-infinite vertical moving permeable surface. The profiles of velocity components, temperature distribution, and concentration are studied to apply the regular perturbation technique. These profiles are shown as graphs for various fluid and geometric parameters such as Hall and ion slip parameters, radiation absorption, diffusion thermo, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction rate. On the other hand, the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are determined by numerical evaluation and provided in tables. These tables are then analysed and debated for various values of the flow parameters that regulate it. It may be deduced that an increase in the parameters of radiation absorption, Hall, and ion slip over the fluid region increases the velocity produced. The resulting momentum continually grows to a very high level, with contributions from the thermal and solutal buoyancy forces. The temperature distribution may be more concentrated by raising both the heat source parameter and the quantity of radiation. When one of the parameters for the chemical reaction is increased, the whole fluid area will experience a fall in concentration. Skin friction may be decreased by manipulating the rotation parameter, but the Hall effect and ion slip effect can worsen it. When the parameter for the chemical reaction increases, there is a concomitant rise in the mass transfer rate.

The present article is about the study of Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Casson nanofluid over a linear stretching surface. Effects like variable Hall current, activation energy, Diffusion thermo is also incorporated for the analysis of heat and mass transfer. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with convective boundary conditions are first converted into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of similarity transformation, and then the resulting nonlinear ODEs are solved with the help of shooting method. The impact of different physical parameters like Activation energy, Diffusion thermo, Brownian motion, thermophoresis parameter, hall current, magnetic parameter, nonlinear radiative heat flux, Prandtl number, Lewis number, reaction rate constant, on Nusselt number, velocity, temperature and concentration profile has been discussed. It is viewed that the fluid velocity and concentration profile enhance with increasing hall parameter and Activation energy respectively.
