Mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium with chemical reaction and radiation effects is studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using shooting method. A parametric study of the physical parameters involved in the problem is conducted and a representative set of numerical results is illustrated graphically. 2010 MATHEMATICS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION: 76A05; 76E06; 80A20 ª 2015 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Egyptian Mathematical Society.
Mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a
power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects
is studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into
ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then
solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of Soret and Dufour
parameters, power law index and mixed convection parameter on non-dimensional
velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed. The variation
of different parameters on heat and mass transfer rates is presented in
tabular form.
