• INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS FLOW ENTITIES ON THE FLOW PAST A SEMI INFINITE MOVING VERTICAL PLATE

Abstract

The objective of the present analysis is to investigate the influence of various flow entities on the flow past a semi infinite vertical porous plate with viscous dissipation. The increase in Schmidt number leads to decrease in the fluid velocity. Further It is noticed that velocity of the plate increases rapidly near the plate as the Grashof number increases. It was observed that increase in porosity results in the increase in veloity, also as we move far away from the boundary  it is noticed  that the velocity of the fluid bed is absoultely zero and found to be independent of pore size. Also as the chemical reaction parameter increases the velocity decreases near the plate.  Also  the increase in  Solutal Grashof number results in  increase of the Skinfriction. It was also  observed that increase of   Eckret number results in increase of temperature and increase of the  of Solutal grashof number leads to increase of temperature.
