Abstract:
This research paper explores the effect of suction/injection on unsteady MHD natural convection flow of heat mass transfer in porous channel in the presence of Soret term. The governing partial differential equations are converted to non- dimensional forms and solved numerically by using unconditionally stable and convergent implicit finite difference method. A parametric study illustrating the influence of various physical parameters is performed. It is reported that the velocity profile increases as Soret term, Grashof number, Solutal Grashof number and Porous parameters values increase, while Magnetic field parameter decreases the velocity profile. The temperature profile rises by the influence in increasing values of Variable Thermal Conductivity and decreases by increasing values of Prandtl number and Radiation parameters. While concentration profile increase by the increasing values of Soret term and Chemical reaction. The dependence of the skin friction coefficient, rate of heat transfer and mass transfer on these parameter has been discussed.
