Influence of thermal radiation on free convective heat and mass transfer past an isothermal vertical oscillating porous plate in the presence of chemical reaction and heat generation-absorption

Résumé

An approximate analysis of the problem of the transient free convective transfer flow of a Newtonian non-gray optically thin fluid past an isothermal vertical oscillating porous plate in the presence of chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption is studied. The dimensionless governing coupled linear partial differential equations are solved using a spectral relaxation method. The essence of the method of the solution-spectral relaxation method SRM is to linearize and decouple the original system of PDEs to form a sequence of independent linear equations that can be solved iteratively. The SRM approach applies the spectral collocation method and a finite different method independently in all underlying independent variables to obtain approximate solutions of the problem. Detailed computations on the influence of the chemical reaction parameter $A_{2}$ , the thermal radiation parameter R, the number Sc, the heat absorption/generation parameter $Q_{1}$ , and the Prandtl number on the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are illustrated graphically and in table format. It is observed that the flow velocity increases with the increase in either thermal radiation or thermal Grashof number. The temperature profile increases with the increase in either the thermal radiation parameter or the heat absorption/generation parameter. The rate of heat transfer decreases with the increase in the thermal radiation parameter, whereas it increases with increasing value of the heat generation/absorption parameter.
