Effects of Non-Uniform Slot Suction/Injection and Chemical Reaction on Mixed Convective MHD Flow Along a Vertical Wedge Embedded in a Porous Medium

Abstract

In this investigation, our objective is to study the effect of non-uniform slot suction or injection into a steady mixed convective MHD boundary layer flow over a vertical wedge embedded in a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction. The wall of the wedge is embedded in a uniform porous medium in order to allow possible fluid wall suction or injection. The surface of the wedge is maintained at a variable wall temperature and concentration. The fluid is assumed to be viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting; and the magnetic field is applied transversally in the direction of the flow. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of non-similar and non-dimensional equations by using suitable coordinate transformations. Non-similar solutions are obtained numerically by solving coupled non-linear partial differential equations using an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasi-linearization technique. Comparisons with previously published works are performed and excellent agreement between the results is obtained. A parametric study of the physical parameters is conducted and a representative set of numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions, as well as the local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are illustrated graphically to show interesting features of the solutions.

Numerical Approach of Heat and Mass Transfer of MHD Casson Fluid Under Radiation Over an Exponentially Permeable Stretching Sheet With Chemical Reaction and Hall Effect

“…Blowing reduces them. Ganapathirao et al (2019f) found that skin friction and coefficient of heat transfer raises with enhancing buoyancy parameter. Ibrahim et al (2019g) observed that velocity increases with increasing buoyancy parameter.…”

Hydromagnetic Mixed Convection along a Vertical Cylinder in a Stratified Non-Darcian Porous Medium

“…From the examples of these processes is the drawing, annealing, and tinning of copper wires. In these processes the rate of cooling can be controlled which can be affect the properties of the final product (Amanull et al [5]; Ganapathirao et al [6]). Moreover, in different technological applications such as purification of molten metals, geothermal energy extraction, nuclear reactor coolers, metal casting, and many others the effects of magnetic field are encountered.…”

Unsteady MHD Blasius and Sakiadis Flows With Variable Thermal Conductivity in the Presence of Thermal Radiation and Viscous Dissipation

“…Nanotechnology has been an ongoing hot topic health as researchers claim that nanoparticles could present possible dangers in environment, Mnyusiwalla et al (2003). Sharma et al (2017) investigated the steady two dimensional laminar magnetohydrodynamic slip flow and heat transfer of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past a flat exponentially non-conducting stretching porous sheet. Buongiorno (2006) explained how the increase in thermal conductivity of nanofluids and also developed a model that considered the particle Brownian motion and thermophoresis.…”
