Abstract
Temperature and concentration analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow of
incompressible fluids over corrugated vibrating bottom surface with heat and mass transfer is
discussed. Energy and concentration equations are obtained for computation of their respective
profiles. The unsteady flow two-dimensional governing equations are solved numerically by
explicit finite difference method of the Forward Time Backward Space scheme. The numerical
results shows that the applied parameters such as the magnetic Reynolds number, Eckerts
number, Joules heating parameter, Radiative parameter, Dufour number, Prandtl number, Soret
number and Schmidt number have significant effects on the fluid flow and heat transfer.
MATLAB computer package is used to plot the physical effects of the parameters.
