Free Convection Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluids Along a Vertical Plate Embedded in a Porous Medium

MHD free convection flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a vertical plate with suction effects

“…Yue-Tzu and Wang [2] studied the problem of natural convection of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid with and without yield stress about a two-dimensional axi-symmetric body of arbitrary shape in a fluid-saturated porous medium on the basis of boundary layer approximation. Chen and Chen [3] presented similarity solutions for natural convection of a non-Newtonian fluid over vertical surfaces in porous media. Jumah and Mujumder [4] investigated the problem of natural convection coupled heat and mass transfer from a vertical flat plate in a porous medium saturated with a HerschelBulkley fluids.…”

Chemical Reaction Effects on Free Convective Flow of a Polar Fluid from a Vertical Plate with Uniform Heat and Mass Fluxes

“…The research on heat and mass transfer in flows of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media is very important due to its practical applications in engineering, such as oil recovery, food processing, the spreading of contaminants in the environment and in various processes in the chemical and materials industry. Chen and Chen [3] presented similarity solutions for natural convection of a non-Newtonian fluid over vertical surfaces in porous media. Nakayama and Koyama [4] studied the natural convection of a nonNewtonian fluid over non-isothermal body of arbitrary shape in a porous medium.…”
