Analysis of Thermo-Diffusion and Its Effects in an Inclined Hydromagnetic Boundary Layer Flow Due to Radial Stretching with Convective Boundary Conditions

Abstract

In this paper, an analysis of thermo-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects in an inclined hydromagnetic boundary layer flow due to radial stretching with convective boundary conditions was carried out. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) formulated were reduced with the help of similarity variables to nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which consists of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The implications of several parameters that occurred are presented graphically. The thermal Grashof number is found to drop the fluid velocity profile to free stream faster for higher values due to gravity.
