Effects of chemical reaction and heat source on MHD oscillatory viscoelastic flow in a channel filled with porous medium

Abstract

The partial differential equations with the boundary conditions of effects of chemical reaction and heat source on MHD oscillatory viscoelastic flow in a channel were formulated based on assumptions and already existing model. The partial differential equations were transformed to dimensionless equations using suitable variables. Analytical solution was obtained for the dimensionless equations. With aids of Matlab, graphs were plotted and a table was generated to study the necessary parameters present in the flow. Increase in heat source resulted to increase in velocity of the flow while increase in chemical reaction led to decrease in velocity of the flow. The rate of heat transfer at both wall increases as heat source increases.
