Effects of Radiation and Chemical Reaction on Mhd Boundary Layer Flow over A Moving Vertical Porous Plate with Heat Source

Abstract

We analyze the effects of radiation and chemical reaction on MHD boundary layer flow over a moving vertical porous plate with heat source. The partial differential equations governing the flow are solved numerically using the shooting technique. The influence of various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, as well as Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient are examined and presented graphically and through tables. We observed that rate of heat transfer are more influenced by radiation and chemical reaction parameters.

Key Words: Radiation, Chemical Reaction, Heat Source, MHD, Porous medium.
