Hydromagnetic free Convection from a Moving Permeable Vertical Surface through Porous medium with Heat Source and first order Chemical Reaction

Priya Mathur, A. Jha

Abstract

An analysis is performed to study the momentum heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD natural convection flow over moving permeable surface through porous medium taking into account the first order chemical reaction. The surface is maintained at linear temperature and concentration variations through porous medium. The non linear coupled boundary layer equations were transformed and the resulting ordinary differential equations were solved by perturbation technique. The solution is found to be dependent on several governing parameter, including the magnetic field, strength parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, buoyancy ratio, porous medium, heat source, chemical reaction and suction /blowing parameter. A parametric study of all governing parameters is carried out and representative results for the dimensionless velocity profiles, the temperature profiles, the concentration profiles, the local friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented for various combinations of parameters.
