Abstract

MAHMOUD, M.A.A. Effects of chemical reaction and heat generation on double-diffusive natural convection along a non-isothermal vertical cone in non-newtonian fluid saturated porous medium with variable viscosity and thermal radiation. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2013, vol.43, n.2, pp.107-112. ISSN 0327-0793.

In this work, we studied of variable viscosity, Dufour and Soret effects on free convection heat and mass transfer of a non- Newtonian power-law fluid over a vertical full cone in a saturated porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction, non uniform heat generation and thermal radiation. The transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the fourthorder Runge-Kutta method coupled with the shooting method. The influences of various parameters on the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are presented and discussed
