Mass Transfer With Heterogeneous Chemical Reaction of the First Order in Falkner-Skan Flow of a Power-Law Fluid

Abstract

Mass transfer with a heterogeneous chemical reaction of the first order in a Falkner-Skan flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluid is investigated. This problem is solved by the method of Laplace transform following the approach suggested by Apelblat (1980). The solution is obtained in a closed analytical form.

It must be mentioned the followings: (1) the multiplicity of the steady states was investigated by Lindberg and Schmitz [2,13] and Mihail and Teodorescu [5]; (2) the case of a non-Newtonian fluid flow was analysed by Mihail [4] and Elperin et al [12]; (3) Merkin studied the case of homogeneousheterogeneous isothermal chemical reaction.…”

Convection – Diffusion – Radiation Heat and Mass Transfer to a Sphere Accompanied by a Surface Exothermal Chemical Reaction

“…The surface catalytic combustion of methane was investigated by Markatou et al [11]. Elperin and Fominykh [12,13] and Elperin et al [14] solved the case of mass transfer with a first-order chemical reaction on the wall. Merkin [15] studied the case of homogeneous-heterogeneous isothermal chemical reaction.…”
