Injection/Suction Effect on MHD Convective Flow through Porous Medium Filled in a Vertical Porous Channel with Heat Radiation and Chemical Reaction

The paper attempt to investigate the effect of injection/suction on the flow of electrically conducting fluid through a porous channel filled with porous material. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plane of the porous channel. The effect of heat radiation, heat source and chemical reaction has been taken into consideration. The governing equations are solved analytically by using complex variable notation. The expressions for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer have been obtained. The effect of various parameters entering the governing equation have been evaluated numerically and expressed graphically and in tabular form. A detailed discussion is given in the result and discussion section of the research paper.
