Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effect on MHD Flow Past an Accelerated Isothermal Inclined Plate in a Rotating Fluid with Variable Mass Diffusion
Abstract: In this paper, we present radiation, chemical reaction and rotation effects on unsteady MHD flow past an accelerated isothermal inclined plate with variable mass diffusion. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved using Laplace transform method. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed for various physical parameters like, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, rotation parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and time. Finally, physical quantities such as Nusselt number and Sherwood …

Consequence of Hall and Ion-slip Currents on Boundary Layer Flow with Power-law Deviation Wall Temperature
Abstract: MHD boundary layer flow in permeable medium along vertical plate with power-law deviation wall temperature in a gyratory system for the effects of Hall and ion-slip currents have investigated numerically. The ordinary differential equations are obtained from considered system of partial differential equations using usual transform. The Nachtsheim- Swigert shooting iteration method along with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration technique has employed to solve the non-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. …

Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities in Liquid Metal Batteries: A Study of Metal Pad Roll Dynamics and Stability Thresholds
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the metal pad roll instability (MPRI) in liquid metal batteries (LMBs), a key phenomenon driven by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) forces. LMBs, which are poised to revolutionize grid-scale energy storage due to their low cost, long lifespan, and high current density, face critical challenges due to instabilities that can compromise operational stability. This work characterizes the MPRI in cylindrical reduction cells and offers theoretical formulations, …

Exploring the Ettingshausen Effect: Magnetothermoelectric Transport in Graphene Nanoribbons and Iron-Carbon Alloys
Abstract: This study investigates the magnetothermoelectric effects, specifically the Ettingshausen effect, in graphene nanoribbons and iron-carbon alloys and explores their implications in plasma physics through self-similar modeling. The Ettingshausen effect, which involves the generation of a transverse heat current from a longitudinal charge current in the presence of a magnetic field, is analyzed using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism and nonequilibrium Green's function methods. Results reveal that in graphene nanoribbons, the Ettingshausen effect …
