Abstract: | Combined heat and mass transfer in free, forced and mixed convection flows along a porous wedge with internal heat generation
in the presence of uniform suction or injection is investigated. The boundary-layer analysis is formulated in terms of the
combined thermal and solute buoyancy effect. The flow field characteristics are analyzed using the Runge-Kutta-Gill method,
the shooting method, and the local nonsimilarity method. Due to the effect of the buoyancy force, power law of temperature
and concentration, and suction/injection on the wall of the wedge, the flow field is locally nonsimilar. Numerical calculations
up to third-order level of truncation are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters as a special case.
The effects of the buoyancy force, suction, heat generation, and variable wall temperature and concentration on the dimensionless
velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are studied. The results obtained are found to be in good agreement with
previously published works. |
