Abstract

The present research article is directed to study the heat and mass transference analysis of an incompressible Newtonian viscous fluid. The unsteady MHD natural convection flow over an infinite vertical plate with time dependent arbitrary shear stresses has been investigated. In heat and mass transfer analysis the chemical molecular diffusivity effects have been studied. Moreover, the infinite vertical plate is subjected to the phenomenon of exponential heating. For this study, we formulated the problem into three governing equations along with their corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The Laplace transform method has been used to gain the exact analytical solutions to the problem. Special cases of the obtained solutions are investigated. It is noticed that some well-known results from the published literature are achieved from these special cases. Finally, different physical parameters' responses are investigated graphically through Mathcad software.
