• UNSTEADY CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL WITH CHEMICAL REACTION, RADIATION ABSORPTION AND DISSIPATION

Abstract

We consider the unsteady thermal convection due to the imposed traveling thermal wave boundary through a vertical channel bounded by flat walls. The effects of free convective heat and mass transfer flow has been discussed by solving the governing unsteady non-linear equations under perturbation scheme. The velocity, the temperature and the concentration have been analysed for different variations of the governing parameters. The shear stress, the rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer have been evaluated and tabulated for these sets of parameters.
