In this paper, we analyze the effects of Hall current, radiation absorption and diffusion thermo on unsteady magnetohydromagnetic free convection flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting and chemically reacting second‐grade fluid past an inclined porous plates in the presence of an aligned magnetic field, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. An exact analytical solution of the governing equations for fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions is obtained using the perturbation technique. Expressions for shear stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer at the plate are derived. The numerical values of primary and secondary fluid velocities, fluid temperature and species concentration are displayed graphically, whereas those of shear stress and rate of mass transfer at the plate are presented in tabular form for various values of pertinent flow parameters. In addition, the skin friction on the boundary, the heat flux expressed in terms of the Nusselt number, and the rate of mass transfer described in the Sherwood number are all derived, and their behavior is studied computationally. It can be deduced that an increase in radiation absorption and hall current parameters over the fluid region increases the velocity produced. The resulting velocity continually increases to a very high level, with contributions coming from thermal and solutal buoyancy forces. Skin friction may decrease by manipulating the rotation parameter, but the Hall effect can worsen it. When the parameter for the chemical reaction increases, there is a concomitant rise in the mass transfer rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The focus of this paper is to examine the heat and mass transport behavior of transient magnetohydrodynamics second‐grade fluid (elastico‐viscous fluid) flow within a vertical channel bounding the porous regime with the Hall phenomenon and induced magnetic field (IMF). The flow system consists of a strong transverse magnetic field that gives rise to the Hall phenomenon and IMF. The right vertical surface of the channel is conducting and oscillations in its plane in the vertical direction while the left vertical surface of the channel is nonconducting and stationary. The suitable dimensionless setup transforms the flow model into a simplified comparable model which is solved analytically with the assistance of the method of separation of variables. Numerical computation is performed with the aid of MATHEMATICA software to explore the results from the analytical solutions. The results of the investigation are helpful in analyzing the nature of the elastic‐viscous fluids. A noteworthy result noted from the investigation is that there appears a reverse flow in the direction of normal flow when the magnetic interaction parameter is large. For the small magnetic interaction parameter, such a flow is not seen. Hall current reduces the strength of the principal IMF and induces the strength of the secondary generated magnetic field. Furthermore, it is explored that the elastico‐viscous nature of the second‐grade fluid has a tendency of enhancing the principal flow and principal‐produced magnetic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
