• EFFECT OF CHEMICAL REACTION ON THE UNSTEAD CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW IN A VERTICAL WAVY CHANNEL WITH OSCILLATORY FLUX AND HEAT SOURCES

Abstract

The unsteadiness in the flow is due to the oscillatory flux in the flow region. Here the effect of chemical reaction on unsteady free convective heat and mass transfer flow through a porous medium with oscillatory flux and heat sources is considered in a vertical wavy channel with the slope d as the perturbation parameter the perturbation technique is used to solve the coupled equations governing the flow, heat and mass transfer. The expression for the velocity, the temperature, the concentration, the rate of heat and mass transfer are derived and are analyzed for different variations of the governing parameters.
