Effect of Radiation Absorption, Chemical Reaction and Non-Uniform Heat Source, MHD on Mixed Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Flow Past a Stretching Sheet

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to investigate the combined influence of radiation absorption, chemical reaction and MHD on mixed convective heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid past a stretching sheet in the presence of non-uniform heat source and Hall effects. The equations governing the flow of heat and mass transfer have been solved numerically employing Runge-Kutta fourth order technique together with the shooting technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration have been analyzed. The rate of heat and mass transfer on the plate has been evaluated numerically for different variations.
