• NUMERICAL STUDY ON MHD MIXED CONVECTIVE FLOW WITH DISPERSION AND CHEMICAL REACTION OVER A VERTICAL PLATE IN NON-DARCY POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

The effects of double dispersion and MHD on mixed convection heat and mass transfer for a Newtonian fluid over a vertical plate are discussed. The energy equation includes the viscous dissipation and thermal dispersion effects; concentration equation includes the chemical reaction and solute dispersion effects. The transformed governing equations are solved numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method with the usual shooting technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically, against the similarity variable for different physical parameters. The rates of heat and mass transfer have also been discussed. The results obtained by us are in agreement with those obtained by Chamkha et al. [11], without the magnetic and dispersion terms.
