Abstract

Separation of a heat absorbing or generating binary fluid mixture of incompressible viscous fluids in MHD natural convection flow about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium subjected to a chemical reaction is numerically analyzed, by taking into account the Soret and Dufour effects. The temperature and concentration profiles are drawn and the effects of magnetic, Lewish, Dufour, Soret, heat source, sustention parameter, order of the chemical reaction and chemical reaction parameter are exhibited graphically. The Nusselt and local Sherwood numbers are tabulated for various values of the above mentioned parameters. It is observed from the table that the Nusselt and local Sherwood numbers are effected significantly due to the presence of the chemical reaction and the magnetic field.
