• INFLUENCE OF THE THERMAL RADIATION AND CHEMICAL REACTION EFFECTS ON MHD FLOW ALONG A MOVING VERTICAL POROUS PLATE

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the effect of magneto hydrodynamic free convective heat and mass transfer flow past a moving vertical porous plate in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of self-similar equations using the similarity transformations. The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The results are obtained for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The effects of various parameters on flow variables are illustrated graphically, and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed.
