Effects of radiation on Mass and Heat Transfer of a Fluid Through a Porous Medium Over a Stretching Sheet with Suction and Internal Heat Generation or Absorption

摘要

In this paper, the effects of radiation on mass and heat transfer of a laminar boundary layer flow through a porous medium past a linearly stretching surface with suction and internal heat generation (or absorption) are investigated. The study considers the surface with a prescribed uniform surface temperature or prescribed wall heat flux. The transformed momentum and energy equations are solved numerically using a fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Graphs are presented in terms of velocity and temperature fields for various fluid and flow parameters.
