Effects of Viscous Dissipation on MHD Free Convection Flow of Radiation Absorbing Fluid through a Porous Medium with Heat Source/Sink

Abstract

Viscous dissipation effects on a steady two-dimensional flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a vertical plate through porous medium with heat source\sink and radiation absorption is studied here. The coupled non-linear partial differential equations are solved by perturbation method. The influence of various material parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are studied and discussed with the help of graphs. The expressions for Skin friction and Nusselt number are also derived and discussed numerically.
