Fully developed Mixed Convection through vertical channel in the presence of heat generation/absorption with first order chemical reaction is analyzed.The thermal boundary conditions are isothermal–isothermal for left and right walls of the channel and kept at different temperatures.The effect of thermal buoyancy parameter, concentration buoyancy parameter and heat generation/absorption parameter are studied. Also the flow field with the presence of first order chemical reaction is particularly analyzed. The governing equations are solved using finite element method.Velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are investigated for different values of the flow parameters.

Abstract An numerical study on an unsteady flow past an oscillating semi-infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and uniform mass diffusion under the influence of a first order chemical reaction has been carried out. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit finite difference scheme. The effects of velocity and temperature for different physical parameters such as the chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and time are analysed. It is observed that due to the presence of first order chemical reaction, the velocity increases during a generative reaction and decreases in a destructive reaction
