Heat and Mass Transfer Effects on MHD Mixed Convective Flow of a Vertical Porous Surface in the Presence of Ohmic Heating and Viscous Dissipation

Abstract

The present paper addresses the combined effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on steady MHD mixed convective flow of heat and mass transfer past a vertical surface under the influence of Joule and viscous dissipation. The governing system of the partial differential equations is transformed into the dimensionless equations using dimensionless variables. The dimensionless equations are solved numerically using two term perturbation technique and numerical solution as in graphically. The effects of the various parameters entering the problem on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration fields within the boundary layer are discussed qualitatively. The velocity increases with an increase in Grashof number Gr, permeability parameter and solutal Grashof number Gm but decreases in magnetic parameter.
