Modeling And Analytical Simulation Of Heat And Mass Transfer In The Flow Of An Incompressible Viscous Fluid Past An Infinite Horizontal Wall

Abstract

This paper presents an analytical method to describe the heat and mass transfer in the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an infinite horizontal wall. The governing equations account for the viscous dissipation effect and mass transfer with chemical reaction of constant reaction rate. The coupled partial differential equations describing the phenomenon have been solved analytically using variable seperation method and Fourier Sine transform. The results obtained are presented graphically. It is discovered that the Schmidt number enhances the fluid velocity and decreases the fluid temperature. Lewis number and Eckert number enhance the fluid temperature while reaction rate number decreases the species concentration.
