• EFFECT OF HALL CURRENTS ON UNSTEADY MIXED CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW OF A CHEMICALLY REACTING VISCOUS FLUID IN A HORIZONTAL CHANNEL WITH TRAVELING THERMAL WAVES

Abstract

This paper deals with the thermo-diffusion and chemical reaction effects on the unsteady convective Heat and Mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible electrically conducting fluid in a horizontal channel bounded by flat walls. The unsteadiness in the flow is due to the traveling thermal wave imported on y = L. The momentum, energy and diffusion equations are non linear coupled equations. By making use of perturbation technique the governing equations are solved to obtain the expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration.
