Influence of Aligned Magneticfield on the Flow through Vertical Surface in Porous Medium with Heat Source

Abstract

In this paper we analyzed the influence of aligned magneticfiled, radiation and chemical reaction on the flow through vertical surface in porous medium in presence of heat source. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations and solved numerically by using Shooting technique with Matlab Package. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer are discussed and presented with the help of graphs. Also, coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through tables. Comparisons of the results with the existed studies were presented. Present results have an excellent agreement with the existed studies under some special conditions.

Keywords: Radiation, Aligned magneticfiled, Chemical reaction, Heat source, Dissipation.
