Perturbation Solution for Thermal Diffusion and Chemical reaction Effects on MHD Flow in Vertical Surface with Heat Generation

Abstract

A study two-dimensional laminar incompressible flow continuously moving vertical surface porous plate has been analyzed to show the effect of an additional cross transport phenomenon, i.e. heat flux caused by concentration gradient in addition to the heat flux caused by temperature gradient. Further thermal Diffusion and chemical reaction effects on MHD flow in vertical surface with heat generation has been taken into consideration in the present study. Moreover, the Dufour effect has been considered in energy equation leaving the equation of thermal diffusion and mass diffusion coupled. The coupled non-linear equations are solved by applying perturbation technique. The effect of flow parameters are shown with the help of graphs.
