Simultaneous Thermal and Mass Diffusion on Three-Dimensional Mixed Convection Flow through a Porous Medium

ABSTRACT

The effect of simultaneous thermal and mass diffusion on mixed convection flow through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical flat porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction of the fluid at the plate has been analyzed. The problem becomes three-dimensional due to periodic suction velocity. Assuming the free-stream velocity to be uniform, the closed-form solutions are obtained for the velocity, skin frictions, concentration, and temperature distribution. During the course of the discussion, the effects of Re (Reynolds number or suction parameter), Sc (Schmidt number), and k (permeability of porous medium) have been presented.
