Dual Stratification Effects on Mixed Convective Electro-magnetohydrodynamic Flow over a Stretching Plate with Multiple Slips and Cross Diffusion

Abstract

This paper analyzed the effects of dual stratification on mixed convective electro-magnetohydrodynamic flow over stretching plates with multiple slips. With the aid of the similarity transformation technique were, the governing boundary equations, that were partial differential equations, were changed to a couple of ordinary differential equations and then solved with fourth order Runge Kutta method and Newton’s Raphson shooting techniques. It was observed that the magnetic field, Buoyancy ratio, permeability, momentum slip parameters, Dufour, Soret and Brinkmann numbers made the thermal boundary layer thickness to increase but the solutal stratification, electric field, chemical reaction, solutal slip, suction, thermal slip and thermal stratification parameters, Prandtl, Richardson and Lewis number decreased the thickness of the thermal boundary layer. The Buoyancy ratio, permeability, momentum slip, thermal slip and thermal stratification parameters and Soret number enhanced the solutal boundary layer thickness.
