Dufour and Soret Effects on MHD Flow Near a Stagnation Point

Authors : Akin Mike Okedoye

Abstract: This study, investigate the effects of Dufour and Soret number on flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field with variable thermal conductivity and non uniform heat source/sink near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. The equations of continuity, momentum and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using shooting method together with generalised Thomas algorithm. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are discussed numerically and presented through figures. Skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt and Sherwood number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically and their numerical values for various values of physical parameter are presented through table.
