Impact of chemical reaction on mass transfer and melting heat transfer of porous MHD Casson fluid flow

Abstract

Melting and chemical reaction impacts on heat and mass transfer of MHD Casson fluid flow over a porous stretching surface is examined numerically in this article. The governing partial differential equations are converted by using adequate transformations and the resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using finite difference scheme along with Thomas algorithm. The graphical illustrations are presented for velocity, temperature and concentration distributions. Also Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are elucidated for chosen values of various parameters. To validate the numerical method employed, the present results are compared with the existing literature and found to be in good agreement.
