Chemical reactive magnetized fluid flow through a vertical channel due to heat source and thermal radiation effects

Abstract

Chemical reactive magnetized fluid flow through a vertical channel of infinite thin walls occupied with the permeable substance in the presence of heat source and thermal radiation with suction/injection at the walls is deliberated in the present research paper. The characteristic equations of fluid velocity, heat and mass transfer are emanated and their analytical solutions are extricated by using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The consequence of the assorted fluid parameters on flow have been depicted through figures, and shear stress, heat and mass transfer rate have been calculated and presented in tables. It is discerned that growth in the chemical reaction helps to decrease the velocity, temperature and concentration profile. Further, it is observed that the heat and mass transfer rates are improved at the moving wall of the channel with the growth in the chemical reaction, and this analysis is useful in the study of food processing, packet bed reactors in chemical industries, and heat exchanger and heat storage devices, thermal engineering etc.
