Abstract:

A numerical computation has been carriedout for the steady, mixed convective, incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting couple stress fluid through a vertical plate with variable fluid properties in a porous medium. A uniform magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction and parallel to the vertical plate of the physical model and governing equations are derived for it."Using a suitable similarity transformation, governed PDE's are transformed into a set of ODE's which are highly non-linear coupled equations. An advanced Shooting technique is adopted to compute the variations of velocity, temperature, concentration in terms of non-dimensional parameters. Also physical interpretation of non-dimensional parameters like couple stress parameter magnetic field Prandtl number Schmidt number thermal conductivity and solutal diffusivity parameters are examined through plots for both variable permeability and uniform permeability."From the numerical results, an excellent agreement has been observed for the present results, as well as comparison is made between the present and the earlier works for a particular case of the problem.
