Effects of chemical reaction on combined heat and mass transfer by laminar mixed convection flow from vertical surface with induced magnetic field and radiation

The elevated temperature electromagnetic materials production system in chemical engineering requires increasingly more refined theoretical and computational models for describing multiple, simultaneous thermophysical effects. Motivated by this application, the present paper addresses heat and mass transfer in a chemically reacting laminar mixed convection flow from a vertical sheet with inducedmagnetic field. The governing equations of the flow are solved analytically using a perturbation technique. The influences of various established parameters on the flow, induced magnetic field, and heat and mass transfer are studied graphically in the present analysis. Finally, we also obtained expressions for shear stress, current density and Nusselt number, and discussed the results through tables.
