Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effects on Thermophoretic MHD Flow over an Aligned Isothermal Permeable Surface with Heat Source

Abstract

Radiation and chemical reaction effects on thermophoretic MHD flow over an inclined isothermal permeable surface in presence of heat generation/absorption, viscous dissipation is analyzed numerically. The governing equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and then solved numerically using bvp4c solver with MATLAB Package. The effects of governing parameters on dimensionless quantities like velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, wall heat flux and wall deposition flux are discussed for both suction and injection cases. Results are presented graphically and through tables.
