Properties of steady solutions of a reacting non-Newtonian viscous MHD poiseuille flow

Abstract

We revisit an Eyring-powell reacting fluid whose viscosity depends on temperature and the vertical distance, we further assume that the MHD flow satisfies the poiseuille boundary conditions. We show that the velocity field has two solutions corresponding to each solution of the temperature. In particular we show that the upper solution coincides with the lower solution of the velocity and vice-versa. Moreover the two solutions never cross each other in the interior layer.
