DUFOUR, SORET AND DISSIPATION EFFECTS ON MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW PAST A STRETCHING PERMEABLE SHEET WITH RADIATIVE CHEMICAL REACTION ANDHEAT SOURCE

Present investigation explores the numerical solution of Magnetohydrodynamic laminar steady gray fluid flow with heat and mass transfer past a stretching permeable sheet, incorporating several factors such as heat source, viscous and joules dissipation effects, thermal radiation, chemical reactions, Soret and Dufour effects. The governing nonlinear PDEs are simplified into ODEs with the help of similarity transformations. Momentum equation is solved analytically. Non-Dimensional temperature and concentration calculated with the help of RK- shooting method with Nachtsheim-Swigert iteration method. Key results include the calculation of heat and mass transfer rates and Co-efficient of skin friction. The effects of various parameters such as magnetic field strength, suction, radiation, chemical reactions, internal heat generation and dissipative effects on the flow characteristics and other physical parameters are thoroughly investigated, highlighting their impact on the thermal and concentration profiles in the system. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into the behaviour of the fluid flow under the specified conditions, which can be useful for applications in engineering and industrial processes.
