• EFFECTS OF VARIABLE VISCOSITY ON MIXED CONVECTION HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PAST A WEDGE WITH VARIABLE TEMPERATURE

Abstract

Steady mixed convection flow past a wedge with variable viscosity and variable surface temperature is studied. Variations in velocity, temperature and concentration profiles due to various values of the temperature exponent, viscosity parameter, Prandtl number and Schimdt number are presented. Proportionate numerical results are tabulated for the local skin-friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number. It is observed that the introduction of  variable viscosity effects and variable temperature can affect the separation of flow past a wedge.
