Effects of Pollutants and Atmospheric Temperature Rise on Agriculture

Abstract

Climate change is emerging as one of the most challenging problems facing the world in the 21st century. In this research work, a transient equation describing this phenomenon is presented. We assume the dusty fluid to be flowing over a flat plate while the other plate is at infinity. The dusty particles are to be uniformly distributed throughout the fluid. The two plates are to be electrically non-conducting and kept at constant temperatures. The equations to the phenomenon are solved analytically a self similarity solution and Frobenius method. The results obtained are presented graphically and discussed. It is discovered that temperature increases as the Hartman number due to pollutants increases.
