Abstract

This article is concerned with the analysis of the effects of thermal radiation on oscillatory mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid in a rotating frame of reference in the presence of transverse magnetic field and Hall current. The influence of a first-order homogeneous chemical reaction and heat source effects is also analyzed. The governing partial differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically after using small perturbation approximation. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields as well as on skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number with their amplitude and phase are discussed in detail. Numerical results are discussed with the help of graphs and tables. Present results are also compared with previously published work.
