Numerical Investigation of Dufour and Rotational Effects on Unsteady MHD Parabolic Flow Over a Vertically Accelerating Plate

This study examines the influence of the Dufour effect on unsteady
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) parabolic flow past a vertically
accelerating rotating plate with variable temperature and uniform
concentration. The investigation focuses on understanding the
combined effects of thermal diffusion, mass diffusion, and rotation on
the behaviour of an electrically conducting fluid. The governing partial differential equations describing the momentum, energy, and concentration fields are formulated using appropriate nondimensional variables. These equations are solved using the inverse Laplace transform technique, which provides analytical solutions for
the velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions.
