Computational Treatment of Transient MHD Slip Flow of an Arrhenius Chemical Reaction in a Convectively Heated Vertical Channel

Abstract

A numerical computational treatment of transient electrically conducting fluid with an Arrhenius chemical reaction in the presence of Navier slip and Newtonian heating is obtained by using implicit finite difference scheme. A transverse magnetic field is applied to the flow direction due to the exothermic nature of the fluid. Numerical computation shows that, higher values of Frank-Kamenetskii parameter (λ) and Biot number (Br) significantly influence the transport phenomenon. Irrespective of smaller or larger time, Magnetic parameter (M) reduces velocity of the fluid as well as wall shear stress.
