Abstract

Effect of heat source on free convective fluid flow in a vertical porous channel with chemical reaction has been studied. The problem is solved analytically for approximate solutions for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields. Also, the Skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer coefficients were derived and shown in tabular form. Effects of various parameters on the flow quantities are presented graphically and discussed. The result shows that there is an excellent agreement with related literatures.
