EFFECT OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER ON MAGNETO-HYDRODYNAMIC FLOW WITH CHEMICAL REACTION AND VISCOUS ENERGY DISSIPATION PAST AN INCLINED POROUS PLATE

Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model describing heat and mass transfer of magneto-hydrodynamic flow with chemical reaction and viscous energy dissipation past an inclined porous plate is presented. The governing partial differential equations which describe the phenomenon were nondimensionalized with the aid of some dimensionless quantities. The dimensionless coupled non-linear partial differential equations were solved using the harmonic solution technique. The results obtained were discussed graphically. Findings from the results obtained reveal that increase in Peclet number; Heat source parameter and Grashof number enhance the velocity profiles. Similarly, an increase in the Peclet energy number, Eckert number, Heat source parameter, angle of inclination, permeability parameter and Stuart number leads to an increase in the temperature profile.
