ANALYSIS OF FLOW ENTITIES ON THE SKIN FRICTION FOR A FLOW PAST SEMI INFINITE VERTICAL PLATE WITH VISCOUS DISSIPATION UNDER THE

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to examine the nature of skin friction due to various flow entities of on an unsteady two dimensional laminar convective boundary layer flow of a viscous in compressible, chemically reacting fluid on a semi infinite vertical plate with suction by taking into account the effects of dissipation. It is observed that as Schmidt number increases the skin friction also increases. Further, as the chemical reaction parameter increases the skin friction is observed to be proportional and for similar values of chemical reaction parameter as Schmidt number the increasing the magnetic field contributes inversely. When the Schmidt number is held constant, increase in the concentration parameter contributes to the direct increase in skin friction. In addition to the above, it is observed that increase in the applied magnetic intensity contributes to the decrease in the skin friction.
