Influence of Chemical Reaction, Heat Source, Soret and Dufour Effects on Heat And Mass Transfer in Boundary Layer Flow Over a Stretching Cylinder Embedded in a Porous Medium using Brinkman-Forchheimer Extended Darcy Model

Abstract

Heat and mass transfer characteristics by boundary layer flow over a stretching cylinder embedded in a porous medium subjected to a chemical reaction and heat source is investigated numerically by taking into account the soret and dufour effects using Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy model.The concentration profile is drawn for various values of Reynold’s number , Darcy number , chemical reaction parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number , heat source , nondarcy parameter , Soret and Dufour numbers. Numerical results of rate of mass transfer for different parameters are presented in tabular form.
