Abstract: – Analytical examination of mutual influences of heat and mass transfer effects on MHD Couette flow through a channel with periodic concentration and temperature are studied. The obtained governing coupled partial differential equations are transformed into coupled ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation technique and then solved using method of undetermined coefficient. The solutions for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are obtained. Through the use of standard parameters values, the velocity, temperature and concentration are displayed with plots. From the plots, it is observed that increase in the magnetic parameter yields to a decrease in the velocity, whereas increase in the Grash of number leads to an increase in the velocity. Again, a decrease in the temperature predicted an increase in the Prandtl number and radiation parameter, and an increase in the Schmidt number leads to a decrease in the concentration.
Keywords: Heat and mass transfer, MHD, periodic wall concentration and temperature
