• RADIATION AND CHEMICAL REACTION EFFECTS ON EXPONENTIALLY ACCELERATED ISOTHERMAL VERTICAL PLATE CUM MASS FLUX

Abstract

The solution of radiation and chemical reaction effects on exponentially accelerated isothermal vertical plate has been presented in the presence of mass flux. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace transform technique. The velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are studied for different physical parameters like radiation parameter R, accelerating parameter a, thermal Grashof number Gr, mass Grashof number Gc, chemical reaction parameter K, Prandtl number Pr, Schmidt number Sc and time t. It has been found that the velocity increases with increase in R and increases with decrease in K. Temperature rise with increasing R while concentration increases with decreasing  K.
