Effects of Variable Fluid Properties on MHD Non-Darcy Convective Flow from Vertical Plate with Heat Generation and Chemical Reaction

Abstract:

A numerical computation has been carried out to study, MHD flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid from a semi-infinite vertical plate in a porous medium in the presence of heat source and homogeneous first order chemical reaction. The fluid and porous properties, thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are considered to be varied. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformations. A numerical computation of shooting technique is employed along Runge Kutta method of fourth order with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm to compute the solution and analyze the behavior of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, heat and mass transfer rates graphically for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the flow of the physical system. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and it is found to be in good agreement.
