I. J. Uwanta, M. Sani, A. A. Ibrahim . MHD Convection Slip Fluid Flow With Radiation and Heat Deposition in a Channel in a Porous Medium. International Journal of Computer Applications. 36, 2 ( December 2011), 41-48. DOI=10.5120/4466-6257
This paper examines the MHD convection slip fluid flow with radiation and heat deposition in a channel in a porous medium. The dimensionless governing equations were solved using the perturbation technique to obtained the analytical expressions of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of the fluid with expression of Skin friction, mass and heat transfer in terms of Shear stress, Nusselt number and Sherwood number respectively. The effects of various parameters associated with flow like Prandtl number Pr, Peclet number Pe, Reynold number Re, Grashof number Gr, Porous medium shape factor parameter S, Eckert number Ec, Hartmann number H, Radiation parameter N, and time t are studied with the help of graphs and tables. It follows that the velocity increase with increasing H and S, and decrease with increase in Pr, Pe, Gr, Re and Ec, while the temperature increase with increasing Pe and decrease when there is increase in Pr and Ec.
