Abstract

In this present paper, the effects of chemical reaction on two-dimensional mixed convection flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid in a porous medium between two parallel plates with Soret and Dufour have been considered. The reduced flow field equations are solved using the quasilinearization method. The effects of various parameters such as Hartmann number, inverse Darcy's parameter, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, chemical reaction rate, Soret and Dufour numbers on the velocity components, microrotation, temperature distribution, and concentration are studied in detail and presented in the form of graphs. The flow through porous boundaries has many applications in science and technology such as water waves over a shallow beach, mechanics of the cochlea in the human ear, aerodynamic heating, flow of blood in the arteries, and petroleum industry. Several authors have studied theoretically the laminar flow in porous channels. Berman [1] considered the viscous fluid and analyzed the flow characteristics when it passed through the porous walls. Later the same problem for different permeability was studied by Terril and Shrestha [2]. The theory of micropolar fluids was introduced by Eringen [3] which are considered as an extension of generalized viscous fluids with microstructure. Examples for micropolar fluids include lubricants, colloidal suspensions, porous rocks, aerogels, polymer blends, and microemulsions. The same Berman problem with micropolar fluid was discussed by Sastry and Rama Mohan Rao [4]. The flow and heat transfer of micropolar fluid between two porous parallel plates was analyzed by Ojjela and Naresh Kumar [5]. Srinivasacharya et al. [6] obtained an analytical solution for the unsteady Stokes flow of micropolar fluid between two parallel plates. The effect of buoyancy parameter on flow and heat transfer of micropolar fluid between two vertical parallel plates was investigated by Maiti [7].
