Soret and Angle of Inclination Effects on MHD Fluid Flow Past an Upright Porous Plate

Abstract

A theoretical investigation of MHD fluid flow is carried out under the influence of thermal diffusion, chemical reaction, and various factors. The angle of inclination is also taken into account and quantitatively analyzed in this heat and mass transport analysis. The necessary governing equations are numerically resolved using the implicit finite-difference methodology of the Crank-Nicolson type. Graphs depict non-dimensional velocity, fluid temperature and concentration distributions for many fluid parameters involved, such as the joule-heating parameter, suction parameter, chemical reaction parameter, and radiation parameter. The coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number were calculated. The concentration of the fluid increases as the Soret number increases, whereas the Sherwood number decreases.
