Magnetohydrodynamic Mixed Convection Flow Past a Wedge Under Variable Temperature and Chemical Reaction

Steady laminar boundary layer free-forced flow of a Newtonian flu id past a wedge shaped surface is studied. The temperature of the wedge surface is assumed to vary as n x and a first order chemical reaction of the fluid species is considered. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed by the Falknar-Skan transformations and proportionate numerical results are tabulated for the Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. Graphical results for the variation in the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for various values of the temperature exponent, chemical reaction parameter and Sch midt number are p resented.
