Abstract

In the present investigation, we study the effects of slip boundary condition on the diffusion of chemically reactive species in steady boundary layer flow of viscous incompressible fluid over a vertical stretching sheet with suction or blowing. The first-order chemical reaction is considered and wall concentration varies linearly along the sheet. The self-similar equations are obtained using similarity transformations and are solved numerically using shooting method. Our study reveals that due to the increase of diffusion parameter and blowing, the velocity increases, and it decreases with suction, Schmidt number, and reaction rate parameter. Importantly, for increase of slip parameter, the boundary layer thickness increases. In contrast, the concentration at a point increases only for increasing slip and blowing, while it decreases for increase of all other parameters.
