Abstract

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow past a wedge through porous medium with the influence of thermal radiation, heat source, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction has been analyzed in the present study. The governing nonlinear boundary layer equations for momentum, thermal energy and concentration are transformed to a system of nonlinear ordinary coupled differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation. The transmuted model is shown to be controlled by a number of thermo- physical parameters, viz. the magnetic parameter, heat generation parameter, Permeability parameter, Porosity parameter, Mass and Thermal convective parameters, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reaction parameter and pressure gradient parameter. Numerical elucidations are obtained with the legendary Nactsheim-Swigert shooting technique together with Runge-Kutta six order iteration schemes.
