CHEMICAL REACTION AND RADIATION ABSORPTION EFFECTS ON CONVECTIVE FLOWS PAST A POROUS VERTICAL WAVY CHANNEL WITH TRAVELING THERMAL WAVES

摘要

The objective of this study is to examine analytically the effects of chemical reaction and heat flux on mixed convection heat and mass transfer in vertical wavelet porous space with traveling thermal waves. Using long wavelength approximation, the governing equations are solved by the perturbation technique for the hydromagnetic case. The closed form solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration as well as the skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are presented. The effects of pertinent parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied in detail.
