• CHEMICAL REACTION EFFECTS ON MHD FREE CONVECTION FLOW IN AN IRREGULAR CHANNEL WITH POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the effects of chemical reaction and heat source on two dimensional free convection MHD flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a finitely long vertical wavy wall and a smooth flat wall. A uniform magnetic field is assumed to be applied normal to the insulating walls of the channel. The equations governing the flow filed have been solved by using regular perturbation technique by subjecting to a set of appropriate boundary conditions. The solution of the mean part and the total solution of the problem have been evaluated analytically for several sets of values of the parameters pertaining to the problem and are shown graphically.
