Thermophoresis and viscous dissipation effects on Darcy–Forchheimer MHD mixed convection in a fluid saturated porous media

N. Kishan and Srinivas Maripala

An analysis is presented to investigate the effects of thermophoresis on MHD Mixed convection, heat, and mass transfer about an isothermal vertical flat plate embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation . The similarity solution is used to transform the problem under consideration into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by using the finite difference method. Numerical computations are carried out for the non-dimensional physical parameter. The results are analyzed for the effect of different physical parameters such as thermophoretic , MHD, mixed convection, Eckert number, inertia parameter, buoyancy ratio, and Schmid number on the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics.
