Radiation and dufour effects on unsteady MHD mixed convective flow in an accelerated vertical wavy plate with varying temperature and mass diffusion

This paper studies flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics of unsteady mixed convective magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a heat absorbing fluid in an accelerated vertical wavy plate, subject to varying temperature and mass diffusion, with the influence of buoyancy, thermal radiation and Dufour effect. The momentum, energy and mass diffusion equations are coupled non-linear partial differential equations, which are solved by perturbation technique. The features of the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are analyzed by plotting graphs, and the physical aspects are discussed in detail to interpret the effects of significant parameters of the problem.
