Effects of Chemical Reaction and Soret Effect on Mixed Heat and Mass Transfer for Hiemenz flow through Porous Media with Heat Source

Abstract:

The effects of chemical reaction and thermal-diffusion mixed convection heat and mass transfer for Hiemenz flow through porous media has been studied. The plate is embedded in a uniform porous medium in order to allow for possible fluid wall suction or blowing and has a power-law variation of both the wall temperature and concentration. We used similarity solution to transform the system of partial differential equations, into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations. We then solve these ordinary differential equations by a MATLAB routine bvp4c. We conducted a parametric study of all involved parameters and the results represented graphically.
