• CHEMICAL REACTION AND HEAT GENERATION ON MOVING ISOTHERMAL VERTICAL SURFACE THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM WITH UNIFORM MASS FLUX AND TRANSPIRATION

Abstract

Steady two-dimensional MHD heat and mass transfer free convection flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and chemically reacting fluid via a porous medium along a continuously moving isothermal vertical surface in the presence of the magnetic field with heat source and transpiration is considered. The boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The fluids considered in the study are air and water. Representative results for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction and rate of heat transfer are obtained for several values of pertinent parameters which are of physical and engineering interest. The numerical results of the velocity distribution of a chemically reacting fluid are compared with the corresponding flow problems for an ordinary fluid.
