Influence of Heat and Mass Transfer on Mixed Conviction Flow of an Exothermic Fluid in a Vertical Channel

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of mass transfer on mixed convection flow of an exothermic fluid in a vertical channel, the fluid is  assumed to be an exothermic fluid, the governing equations are set of ordinary differential equation (ODE) which were solved using  perturbation technique, the physical quantities or profile of engineering interest such as velocity, temperature and concentration profiles  were obtained, the effect of various parameters on the flow have been shown in the graph. It is found that the effect of controlling  parameter has significant influence on the flow.
