Abstract
An analysis is carried out to study the effects of chemical reaction and suction /injection on the flow of a micro polar fluid past a moving plate in the presence of magnetic field and mass transfer. The boundary layer equations are transformed to non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical results are presented for the distribution velocity, micro rotation profiles within the boundary layer. The effects of varying magnetic parameter, the non-dimensional chemical reaction parameter , Schmidt number, porosity parameter, micro rotation parameter, and coupling constant parameter are revealed.
Highlights
Several engineering situations arise in which mass is transferred through a fluid that is in laminar flow including condensation sublimation evaporation on a plate or on the inner surface of the plate or on the inner surface of the tube
One of the important engineering applications of the boundary layer equation is the case of a fluid passing over the surface of a solid with which it reacts
Approximate analytical solutions for the chemical reaction in isothermal laminar flow along a soluble flat plate, which is given by Hines et al [3]
Summary
Several engineering situations arise in which mass is transferred through a fluid that is in laminar flow including condensation sublimation evaporation on a plate or on the inner surface of the plate or on the inner surface of the tube. Peddieson and McNitt [7] have studied the boundary layer flow of such a micro polar fluid past a semi-infinite plate. Many others[9,10,11,12,13,14] studied the effect of suction /injection on the flow of a micro polar fluid past a continuously moving plate in the presence of radiation. In the present study we have analyzed the problem of the effect of the chemical reaction, suction/injection on a micro polar fluid past a continuously moving plate in the presence of uniform magnetic field. We consider a steady two-dimensional flow of a micro polar incompressible fluid past a continuously moving plate with suction or injection, chemical reaction under the influence of uniform magnetic field. A program using symbolic and computational computer language (Mathematica 4.0) did the computations
