Thermophoresis Effect on a Radiating Inclined Permeable Moving Plate in the Presence of Chemical Reaction and Heat Absorption

摘要

The thermophoresis effect on the unsteady magneto-hydrodynamic mixed convection flow over an inclined permeable moving plate with the presence of thermal radiation, heat absorption and homogenous chemical reaction, subjected to variable suction is investigated. The problem is formulated in terms of non-similar equations. The equations governing the flow are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using perturbation technique. It was found that velocity distribution is increased with an increase in Soret number and in the presence of permeability, where as it shows reverse effects in the case of heat absorption coefficient, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter and chemical reaction parameter. The problem is limited to slow velocity flow of chemically reacting fluids in porous media. Future research may consider inertia effects of porous media for relatively higher velocity flows. A very useful source of information for researchers on the subject of thermophoresis effects in porous media.
