Chemical Reaction in a steady MHD flow with radiation and thermal conductivity over a porous inclined surface

Abstract

A steady two dimensional mixed convective hydromagnetic flow over an inclined porous surface has been considered. The governing boundary layer equations and boundary conditions are transformed by a scaling group of transformation and finally solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta fourth-fifth order numerical method with shooting technique. Effects of suction/ injection, porosity, thermal radiation, chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number and Prandtl number on velocity temperature and concentration profile presented graphically and discussed in detail. It is observed that velocity increases while temperature and concentration decreases with increasing values of chemical reaction parameter. The values of physical quantities like skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also tabulated with the variation of physical parameters.
