INFLUENCE OF JOULE HEATINGAND MASS TRANSFER EFFECTS ON MHD MIXED CONVECTION FLOW OF CHEMICALLY REACTING FLUID ON A VERTICAL SURFACE

This work is concerned with an analytical study of joule heating; chemical reaction and mass transfer effects on MHD mixed convection flow from a vertical surface have been discussed. The physical problem is represented mathematically by set of dimensionless governing equations and the developed mathematical model is solved by analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Approximate solutions have been derived for the velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin - friction and rate heat transfer using multi-parameter perturbation technique.
