Radiative Mixed Convection Mass Transfer Flow past an Iso-Thermal Porous Plate Embedded in a Permeable Medium in Presence of Thermal Diffusion and Heat Generation

The problem of combined free-forced convection and mass transfer flow over a vertical porous flat plate, in presence of heat generation and thermaldiffusion, is studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations and their boundary conditions, describing the problem under consideration, are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using usual similarity transformations. This system is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta sixth order integration scheme. The effects of suction parameter, heat generation parameter and Soret number are examined on the flow field of a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the flow field is significantly influenced by these parameters.

The objective of this paper is to analyze an unsteady MHD free convective heat and mass transfer boundary flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium with radiation and chemical reaction. The governing equations of the flow field are solved numerical a two term perturbation method. The effects of the various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and values of skin-frication coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables.

The Dufour and Soret effects on unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium have been studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations, governing the problem under consideration, have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been examined on the flow field for a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. Finally, the numerical values of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented in tabular form.
