Abstract

This investigation is undertaken to study the heat and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical plate with variable thermal conductivity. The governing equations for the model are formulated with appropriate boundary conditions. The equations are simplified, non-dimensionalized and then solved numerically with the aid of MAPLE package. The flow phenomenon are characterized by the flow parameters such as Prandtl number (Pr), Schmidt number (Sc) , Eckert number (Ec), magnetic field (M), porosity (K), thermal Grashof number (Gr), mass Grashof number (Gc), radiation (N), suction ( ), thermal conductivity ( ), chemical reaction (Kr) and reaction order (n) which are studied for velocity field, temperature field and concentration distribution presented graphically.
