Abstract

The unsteady magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow due to an oscillating porous flat plate in a rotating frame of reference are studied when thermal radiation and Hall currents are taken into consideration. The entire system rotates with a uniform angular velocity about an axis normal to the plate. A uniform magnetic field is applied along the normal to the plate directed into the fluid region. Copper, alumina and titania water nanofluids are considered. The governing equations are solved analytically by employing the small perturbation approximation. The numerical results for fluid velocity and temperature are presented graphically for the pertinent parameters and discussed in details.
