Abstract: In this paper, the numerical solution of viscous dissipation effects on unsteady magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of an incompressible viscous, electrically conducting fluid near an infinite vertical plate with ramped wall temperature and chemical reaction in the presence of radiation has been carried out. The motion of the plate is a rectilinear translation with an arbitrary time dependent velocity and the radiative flux is described by using differential approximation. The partial differential equations governing the flow are transformed into a non-dimensional form and are solved by Ritz finite element method. The effects of the flow parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are presented through the graphs and numerical data for the skin-friction presented in table. The results obtained are discussed for two cases, namely when the magnetic field is fixed to the fluid and moving plate.
Keywords: MHD, free convection, ramped wall temperature, chemical reaction, viscous dissipation.
