Effect of MHD on Nanofluid flow, Heat and Mass Transfer over a Stretching Surface Embedded in a Porous Medium

SUMMARY

The steady, laminar, mixed convection, boundary layer flow of an incompressible nanofluid past over a semi-infinite stretching surface in a nanofluid –saturated porous medium with the effects of magnetic field and chemical reaction is studied. The governing boundary layer equations (obtained with the Boussinesq approximation) are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The effects of various physical parameters are analyzed and discussed in graphical and tabular form. Comparison with published results is presented and we found an excellent agreement with it. Mainly, it found firstly, that an increase in magnetic parameter M decreases both the local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number. Secondly, a great order of the chemical reaction increases the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers.
