Abstract

A mathematical model is analyzed in order to study the effects of chemical reaction and thermophoresis on MHD mixed convection boundary layer flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid past a heated vertical permeable flat plate embedded in a uniform porous medium, by taking into account the radiative heat flux and variable suction. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using the regular perturbation technique. Numerical results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented through graphs and a table for pertinent parameters to show interesting aspects of the solution.
