Abstract

The present work analyzes the influence of chemical reaction on MHD mixed convection heat and mass transfer for a viscous fluid past an infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium with radiation and heat generation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number are presented graphically and Sherwood number is presented numerically.
