MASS TRANSFER WITH CHEMICAL REACTION IN MHD MIXED CONVECTIVE FLOW ALONG A VERTICAL STRETCHING SHEET

The aim of the paper is to investigate steady mixed convection flow in an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid with homogenous chemical reaction, which consumes species, along a non-conducting vertical, linearly stretching sheet in the presence of transverse magnetic field when sheet is subjected to different thermal boundary conditions i.e. either isothermal/non-isothermal or with constant heat flux. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy and species diffusion in the boundary layer are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The resulting coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved using Runge-Kutta fourth order method alongwith shooting technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. The numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the surface are discussed numerically for various values of physical parameters and presented through Tables
