Abstract

The effects of heat and mass transfer on MHD mixed convection flow of a vertical surface with radiation, heat source/absorption and chemical reaction has been is discussed. The resulting set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations is solved by perturbation technique and for graphs we used MATLAB software. Approximate solutions have been derived for the velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction and Nusselt number. The obtained results are discussed with the help of the graphs to observe the effect of various parameters like Grashof number, modified Grashof number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, Magnetic parameter, Radiation parameter, Chemical reaction, Heat source parameter, Radiation absorption parameter.
