Chemical reaction and Soret effects on hydromagnetic micropolar fluid along a stretching sheet

Abstract Free convection effects of a micropolar fluid along a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of a volumetric non-uniform heat source is investigated in the present paper. Thermal diffusion and first order chemical reaction are also considered in the present study to govern the flow characteristic. The generalization of the earlier studies centers round: (i) The magnetohydrodynamic flow is made to pass through a porous medium characterized by a non-Darcian drag coefficient affecting the momentum equation. (ii) The energy equation is modified with the interplay of non-uniform heat source. (iii) Consideration of chemically reactive species characterized by first order chemical reaction and thermal diffusion i.e. Soret modifying the equation of species concentration. Similarity transformation technique is used to transform the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical solutions are achieved showing the effects of pertinent parameters. For verification of the present findings the results of this study have been compared with the earlier works in particular cases.
