MHD FLOW IN POROUS MEDIUM THROUGH AN EXPONENTIALLY STRETCHING SHEET WITH SURFACE HEAT AND MASS FLUX UNDER THE IMPACT OF CHEMICAL REACTION

Abstract

The key motive of the present study is to examine the heat and mass transmission process through a sheet that is assumed to be stretching exponentially in porous medium on MHD flow with suction, constant surface heat and mass flux. The governing equations of the problem are first made dimensionless by adopting suitable non-dimensional transformations, there after it is solved by bvp4c, a Matlab inbuilt solver. The solutions are presented by graphs and numerical values are computed for rate of heat transfer, rate of mass transfer and skin-friction coefficient. The validity of the present result is also checked by comparing the result with previously published work. The findings reveal that suction parameter helps in reducing the fluid velocity and heat transfer rate, and mass transfer is boosted by permeability parameter. Other important parameters also showed noticeable consequences on both heat as well as mass transfer process.
