Differential Transformation Method, Chemical reaction, Heat Mass TransferAbstract
In this paper, effect of chemical reaction on mixed convection flow of an exothermic fluid in a vertical porous channel is considered. The dimensionless ordinary differential equations were solved using differential transformation method (DTM) to obtain the expression of velocity, temperature and concentration from momentum, energy and mass equations. The effect of Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number with various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are presented and discussed. The result indicated that the velocity, temperature and concentration increases with the increase in suction/injection and mixed convection parameters.
