Heat and mass transfer from mixed convection flow of polar fluid along a plate in porous media with chemical reaction

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this work is to study heat and mass transfer from mixed convection flow of polar fluid along a plate in porous media with chemical reaction.

Design/methodology/approach

The governing equations for this problem are solved numerically.

Findings

Polar fluids behave very differently from Newtonian fluids.

Originality/value

This work is original as little work has been reported for polar fluids.
