Abstract

The paper attempt to investigate the effect of injection/suction on the flow of electrically conducting fluid through a porous channel filled with porous material. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plane of the porous channel. The effect of heat radiation, heat source and chemical reaction has been taken into consideration. The governing equations are solved analytically by using complex variable notation. The expressions for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer have been obtained. The effect of various parameters entering the governing equation have been evaluated numerically and expressed graphically and in tabular form. A detailed discussion is given in the result and discussion section of the research paper.

Abstract

An investigation of heat and mass transfer effect on incompressible chemically reacting, radiating and electrical conducting viscoelastic fluid through porous medium in porous vertical channel has been carried out. The magnetohydro dynamics (MHD) flow is assumed to be laminar and fully developed. A uniform magnetic field is applied in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the plates. The equations governing the flow are solved by perturbation technique. The velocity, temperature, concentration fields, coefficient of skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer are evaluated numerically and discussed with the help of graphs and tables.
