DUAL SOLUTIONS FOR HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CHEMICALLY REACTING RADIATIVE NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID WITH ALIGNED MAGNETIC FIELD.

Through this paper we investigated the heat and mass transfer effects of chemically reacting radiative Casson fluid flow over a slendering/flat stretching sheet in a slip flow regime with aligned magnetic field. This study is carried out under the influence of non-uniform heat source/sink. First we converted the governing equations of the flow into ordinary differential equations by making use of suitable similarity transformations. The resultant nonlinear differential equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. Further, graphical representations have been given to study the effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields. Also numerical computation has been carried out to investigate the influence of various physical parameters involved on skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients. Through this investigation, it is observed that aligned angle, Casson parameter and velocity slip parameter have tendency to control the velocity field. Also heat transfer rate in the flow over a flat stretching sheet is higher than that of slendering stretching sheet. A good agreement of the present results with the existed literature has been observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
