Effects of chemical reaction
on moving isothermal Vertical plate
|
|||
|
An exact solution to the problem of flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical isothermal plate with variable mass diffusion is presented here, taking into account of the homogeneous chemical reaction of first-order. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and skin-friction are studied for different parameters like chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number and buoyancy ratio parameter. It is observed that the velocity increases with decreasing chemical reaction parameter and increases with increasing buoyancy ratio parameter. |
