Oscillatory flow of a viscous conducting fluid through a uniformly moving vertical circular cylinder under pressure gradient

Abstract

A study of a transient MHD mass transfer flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting Newtonian non-Gray optically thin fluid through a vertical circular cylinder influenced by a time dependent periodic pressure gradient subject to a magnetic field applied in azimuthal direction, in the presence of a frequency parameter and periodic wall temperature is provided. The flow, heat and mass transfer governing equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by imposing some suitable transformations and solved in closed form using Bessel functions of order zero. Graphs depict the effects of various physical parameters on concentration, velocity, temperature field and on the coefficient of the skin friction, mass flux across a normal suction of the cylinder and the rates of heat and mass transfer at surface of the cylinder in the issue.
