Influence of Radiation Absorption, Chemical Reaction on MHD Mixed Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Flow Past a Stretching Sheet in Slip Flow Regime

Abstract

The aim of the problem is to analyze the combined influence of Radiation absorption and thermal radiation under the influence of chemical reaction on MHD 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 with Hall currents in slip-flow regime. The governing equations of the heat and mass transfer flow have been solved by Galerkin finite element analysis with three nodded line segments. The velocity, temperature and concentration have been analyzed. The rate of heat and mass transfer on the plate has been discussed numerically for different parametric values.
