INFLUENCE OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER ON MIXED CONVICTION FLOW OF AN EXOTHERMIC FLUID IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL

Abstract

This Study investigate the effect of mass transfer on mixed convection flow of an exothermic fluid in a vertical channel, the fluid is assumed to be an exothermic fluid, the governing equations are set of ordinary differential equation (ODE) which were solved using perturbation technique, the physical quantities or profile of engineering interest such as velocity, temperature and concentration profiles were obtained, the effect of various parameters on the flow have been shown in the graph. 

It is found that the effect of controlling parameter has significant influence on the flow.
