The effects of chemical reaction on heat and mass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in a permeable channel with heat generation and thermal radiation is studied. The Rosseland approximations are used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The model contains nonlinear coupled partial differential equations which have been transformed into ordinary differential equation by using the similarity variables. The relevant nonlinear equations have been solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth fifth-order method with shooting technique. The physical significance of interesting parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as the local skin friction coefficient, wall couple stress, and the heat transfer rate are thoroughly examined.

An analysis is performed to study the thermal radiation and chemical reaction effects on coupled heat and mass transfer by MHD natural convective boundary-layer flow of a micropolar fluid over a permeable truncated cone with variable surface temperature and concentration. A suitable set of dimensionless variables is used to transform the governing equations of the problem into a non-similar form. The resulting non-similar equations have the property that they reduce to various special cases previously considered in the literature. An adequate and efficient implicit, tri-diagonal finite difference scheme is employed for the numerical solution of the obtained equations. Various comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. A representative set of numerical results for the velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local wall couple stress, local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number is presented graphically for various parametric conditions and discussed.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v10i2.15898

This paper studies the effects of heat generation and chemical reaction on the coupled conjugate heat and mass transfer by MHD laminar mixed convective flow along a vertical slender hollow cylinder. The governing boundary layer equations along with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form by a non similar transformation and the resulting equations are then solved by the finite difference method using Matlab@ following the code bvp4c. Numerical results of the velocity, temperature and concentration for different values of the conjugate heat transfer parameter p, the magnetic parameter M, the heat generation Q, and the chemical reaction K are studied. The local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also analyzed and presented graphically. In the numerical ranges of the main parameters, it is found mainly that working with strong conjugate heat transfer or/and all others parameters affects negatively the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The same trend is revealed for the skin friction factor.

The problem of steady, two-dimensional, laminar, hydromagnetic flow with heat and mass transfer over a semi-infinite, permeable inclined flat plate in the presence of thermophoresis and heat generation is studied numerically. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary ones. The obtained locally similar equations are then solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique with sixth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in very good agreement. Numerical results for the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as for the skin-friction coefficient, wall heat transfer and particle deposition rate are obtained and reported graphically for various values of the parameters entering into the problem.

In the present study, an analysis is carried out to study the variable viscosity and chemical reaction effects on the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics in a viscous fluid over a semi-infinite vertical porous plate. The governing boundary layer equations are written into a dimensionless form by similarity transformations. The transformed coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the shooting method. The effects of different parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are shown graphically. In addition, tabulated results for the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are presented and discussed.

This work studies the effects of homogeneous chemical reaction and thermal radiation on coupled heat and mass transfer by free convection from a surface embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium. Two different cases of thermal and solutal boundary conditions, namely the prescribed surface temperature and concentration (PSTC) case and the prescribed heat and mass fluxes (PHMF) case are considered. The governing boundary-layer equations are formulated and transformed into a set of non-similar equations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by an accurate and efficient implicit finite-difference method. The obtained results compared with previously published work and found to be in excellent agreement. A representative set of results is displayed graphically to illustrate the influence of the radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and the permeability of the porous medium on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number.

The aim of this work is to study Soret and chemical reaction effects on laminar mixed convection boundary-layer flow and heat and mass transfer past a semi-infinite horizontal flat plate in the presence of heat generation. A transformation is introduced that reduces the equations governing the flow to a system of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme coupled with the shooting method. Graphical results for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles for various parametric conditions are presented and studied. The effects of the chemical reaction parameter, Soret parameter, and the heat generation parameter on the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are presented in tabular form and discussed.PACS Nos.: 44.20+b, 44.20+Cb
