This paper deals with the analysis of an unsteady mixed convection flow of a fluid saturated porous medium adjacent to heated/cooled semi-infinite stretching vertical sheet in the presence of heat source. The unsteadiness in the flow is caused by continuous stretching of the sheet and continuous increase in the surface temperature. We present the analytical and numerical solutions of the problem. The effects of emerging parameters on field quantities are examined and discussed.

Blasius Flow

In this paper, the combined effects of magnetic field, buoyancy forces, nth order chemical reaction, heat source, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and variable viscosity on mixed convection Blasius flow of a conducting fluid over a convectively heated permeable plate embedded in a porous medium is investigated. The fluid properties are assumed to be constant except for the density variation with the temperature and reacting chemical species concentration. The nonlinear governing differential equations were obtained and solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically. The effects of pertinent parameters on the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are examined. It is found that skin friction decreases while Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase with a decrease in the fluid viscosity in the presence of magnetic field.
