Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow over an exponentially permeable stretching sheet in a thermally and chemically stratified porous medium with heat source is investigated. The partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically with MAPLE software. The effect of the pertinent parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined graphically. The results indicated that the velocity profile decreases with increasing value of porosity, magnetic, and suction parameters. The temperature increases with porosity, magnetic and heat source parameters. The concentration profile increases with the increase in porosity and magnetic parameters. Thermal stratification reduces the temperature while chemical stratification reduces the concentration of the fluid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
