This article deals with a study of two dimensional free convective flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium due to combined effects of thermal and mass diffusion in presence of a chemical reaction of first order. The objective of the present investigation is to analyze the free convective flow in the presence of prescribed wall heat flux and mass flux condition. The governing partial differential equations are non-dimensionalized and transformed into a system of non-similar equations. The resulting coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically under appropriate transformed boundary conditions using an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with quasilinearisation technique. Computations are performed for a wide range of values of the various governing flow parameters of the velocity, angular velocity, temperature and species concentration profiles and results are presented graphically. The numerical results for local skin friction coefficient, couple stress coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented. The obtained results are compared with previously published work and were to be in excellent agreement. The study reveals that the flow characteristics are profoundly influenced by the polar effects
Radiation and Soret Effect on Visco-Elastic MHD Oscillatory Horizontal Channe...IJERA Editor
An analysis of radiation and soret effect on visco-elastic mhd oscillatory flow with heat and mass transfer
through a porous medium bounded by two infinite horizontal parallel porous plates in presence of chemical
reaction and a heat source has been presented when one plate is kept at rest while the other is oscillating in its
own plane. The fluid is considered to be non-Newtonian characterized by Walters liquid (Model B′). The
temperature of the stationary plate is assumed to be constant whereas the temperature of the other plate varies
periodically with time about a steady mean. The equations governing the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer have
been solved analytically. The expressions for velocity, temperature, species concentration, non-dimensional
skin-friction at the plates, the coefficient of rate of heat transfer from the plates to the fluid in terms of Nusselt
number in non-dimensional form, the coefficient of rate of mass transfer from the plates to the fluid in terms of
Sharewood number in non-dimensional form are obtained and illustrated graphically to observe the visco-elastic
effects in combination of other flow parameters involved in the solution. It is noticed that the momentum,
thermal and concentration fields are significantly affected by the visco-elastic parameter.

Thermosolutal convection in Maxwellian viscoelastic fluid under the simultaneous effects of uniform vertical magnetic field and suspended particles through porous medium is mathematically investigated. A sufficient condition for the invalidity of the ‘principle of exchange of stabilities’ is derived, in the context, which states that the exchange principle is not valid provided the thermal Rayleigh number R , solutal Rayleigh number S R , the medium permeability 1 P and the suspended particles parameter B are restricted by the inequality 1 2 1 S R R BP .
Effects of Variable Fluid Properties and MHD on Mixed Convection Heat Transfe...IOSR Journals
The effects of variable Fluid Properties like variation of permeability, porosity, thermal conductivity and magnetic field on Mixed Convection Heat transfer from Vertical Heated Plate Embedded in a Sparsely Packed Porous Medium have been approached numerically. The boundary layer flow in the porous medium is governed by Lapwood – Forchheimer – Brinkman extended Darcy model and the Lorentz force. The natures of these equations are highly non-linear and coupled each other. The non-linear differential equations are non-dimensionalised using the non-dimensional parameter involving Grashoff number Gr, Prandtl number Pr, Hartmann number M, Eckert number E and so on. Similarity transformations are employed and the resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using shooting algorithm with Runge – Kutta and Newton – Raphson method to obtain velocity and temperature distributions. Besides, skin friction and Nusselt number are also computed for various physical parameters governing the problem under consideration. It is found that the inertial parameter has a significant influence in decreasing the flow field, whereas its influence is reversed on the rate of heat transfer for all values of permeability considered. The effect of Magnetic field is diminution with velocity of the fluid flow. Further, the obtained results under the two limiting conditions were found to be in good agreement with the existing results

Laplace Analysis of Periodic Heat and Mass Transport on a Parabolic Started S...IJERA Editor
An analysis of periodic heat and mass transport of unsteady hydromagnetic flow past a parabolic started motion of the infinite vertical plate immersed in Darcian porous regime in presence of a first order chemical reaction has been presented. Here the plate temperature as well as concentration level near the plate are increased linearly with time. The boundary layer conservation equations have been solved by Laplace transforms technique. It has been observed that both the velocity and concentration are decreased with increasing values of chemical reaction parameter. But the opposite behavior has been found for the flow velocity when the values of free convection as well as porosity parameter are increased. Application of magnetic fields to medical science is growing rapidly, with the development of novel magnetic pumps, hydromagnetic separation devices with chemical engineering and geophysical energy systems.
This document summarizes a numerical study on mixed convection flow from a moving vertical plate in a parallel free stream. The plate moves with constant velocity in the direction of the flow.

Results for the velocity and concentration profiles and wall deposition velocity are presented for various parameter values. The results are verified by comparing with previous studies and good agreement is found. Key parameters influencing the flow include thermophoresis, mixed convection, thermal radiation, and the plate and free stream velocities.
MIXED CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER MHD FLOW PAST AN UNSTEADY STRETCHING ...IAEME Publication
Mixed two dimensional convection heat and mass transfer flow with suction, viscous
dissipation, heat source/sink effect, mass diffusion including Soret and Dufour effects due to an
unsteady porous stretching sheet is studied in the present analysis. The flow is subjected to
magnetic field normal to the vertical plate in a saturated porous medium. The governing non-linear
partial differential equations have been reduced to ordinary differential equations using suitable
similarity transformation variables. The resultant equations which are coupled and highly nonlinear
are solved by standard Runge-Kutta fourth order numerical technique via shooting method.
The momentum, temperature and concentration field distributions are analyzed and discussed
numerically and presented pictorially through graphs. Numerical values for skin friction
coefficient, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the plate in the presence of magnetic
field and porous medium are derived and discussed for various values of physical parameters and
are presented in table. Finally the present results are compared with previously published results
and found to be well in agreement.

The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and solved numerically. Parameters such as material property, radiation, magnetic field, and velocity ratio are varied to analyze their effects on velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, heat and mass transfer rates. It is observed that the micropolar fluid can reduce drag forces and act as a cooling agent, and that radiation effects are important for flows at high temperatures.

Thermal Instability of Chemically Reacting Maxwell Fluid in a Horizontal Poro...IJERA Editor
The effect of chemical reaction on the linear stability of a viscoelastic fluid saturated horizontal densely-packed
porous layer is investigated. The viscoelastic properties are given by Maxwell constitutive relations. The porous
layer is cooled from the upper boundary while an adiabatic thermal boundary condition is imposed at the lower
boundary. Linear stability analysis suggests that there is a competition between the processes of viscous
relaxation and thermal diffusion that causes the first convective instability to be oscillatory rather than stationary.
The effect of Deborah number, Darcy-Prandtl number, normalized porosity, and the Frank-Kamenetskii number
on the stability of the system is investigated. Using a weighted residual method we calculate numerically the
convective thresholds for both stationary and oscillatory instability. The effects of viscoelasticity and chemical
reaction on the instability are emphasized. Some existing results are reproduced as the particular cases of the
present study.

This research article studied how the mechanical properties of three types of wood pellets (white wood, torrefied, and steam-exploded) changed when exposed to different relative humidity (RH) and temperature conditions in a laboratory environment. The three pellet types were exposed to either high RH (90%) at ambient and elevated temperatures, or low RH (10%) at varying temperatures. Exposure to high RH and elevated temperatures caused a substantial decrease in the shear modulus of all three pellet types, with decreases ranging from 50% to 92% after 4 days. The steam-exploded pellets saw the lowest decrease in mechanical durability but the largest decrease in shear modulus. Storage at low RH did not cause observable degradation

How to write an effective paragraph with exampleHamza Waheed
The document summarizes research on geo-polymeric materials. Very little research data is available on these materials. Past research mostly used small binder and mortar samples. Some conclusions were contradictory. Tests on fly ash-based geo-polymer showed that curing temperature, time, and type of activator affected compressive strength, while the solution-fly ash ratio did not. Higher curing temperatures and activators with soluble silicates produced higher strength than those with hydroxides alone.
Porous media has two specifications: First its dissipation area is greater than the conventional fins that enhance heat convection. Second the irregular motion of the fluid flow around the individual beads mixes the fluid more effectively. Nanofluids are mixtures of base fluid with a very small amount of nanoparticles having dimensions from 1 to 100 nm, with very high thermal conductivities, so it would be the best convection heat transfer by using porous media and nanofluids. Thus studies need to be conducted involving nanofluids in porous media. For that, the purpose of this article is to summarize the published subjects respect to the enhancement of convective heat transfer using porous media and nanofluids and identifies opportunities for future research.
Using Porous Media to Enhancement of Heat Transfer in Heat ExchangersIJAEMSJORNAL
This document summarizes recent research on using porous media to enhance heat transfer in heat exchangers. Porous media can improve heat transfer by increasing the contact surface area between the fluid and solid matrix, modifying fluid flow patterns, and increasing thermal conductivity. Studies have shown that porous media can both increase heat transfer rates through mechanisms like redistributing flow and enhancing thermal conduction, while also increasing pressure drop. The optimal design of porous media in heat exchangers must balance higher heat transfer with increased pumping requirements.

This study examined the effect of temperature on the biodegradation of biodegradable solid waste. A simulated landfill reactor was constructed and layered with soil, waste, and soil. Hot water at 80°C was passed through one reactor to increase the temperature, while a control reactor had no temperature control. Degradation was measured by changes in waste height over time. The reactor with increased temperature showed much faster degradation, with complete degradation within 16 days. The control reactor showed much slower degradation, with only a 4.1cm reduction in waste height after 30 days. The results indicate that higher temperature significantly accelerates the rate of biodegradable solid waste degradation.
Non-Newtonian Visco-elastic Heat Transfer Flow Past a Stretching Sheet with C...IJERA Editor
In this paper two dimensional flow of a viscoelastic fluid due to stretching surface is considered. Flow analysis is carried out by using closed form solution of fourth order differential equation of motion of viscoelastic fluid. Further (Walters’ liquid B’ model) heat transfer analysis is carried out using convective surface condition. The governing equations of flow and heat transfer are non-linear partial differential equations which are unable to solve analytically hence are solved using Runge-Kutta Numerical Method with efficient shooting technique. The flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied through plots drawn. Numerical values of Wall temperature are calculated and presented in the table and compared with earlier published results which are in good agreement

This document presents a study on how the semiconductor layers in underground cables can affect Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurements. The researchers developed a circuit model that includes the electrical resistance of the semiconductor layers to better simulate TDR signals. Simulations using the proposed model showed good agreement with measurements from a new cable but not an aged cable. The model was updated to represent resistance in the aged cable's semiconductor layers caused by degradation over time. Simulations with this updated model matched experimental TDR results from the aged cable better than the original model. The study demonstrates that changes in semiconductor layer resistance due to aging can impact TDR pulse propagation in cables.

Porous media can improve heat transfer by increasing the contact surface area between the fluid and solid matrix, modifying fluid flow patterns, and increasing thermal conductivity. Studies have shown that porous media can both increase heat transfer rates through mechanisms like redistributing flow and enhancing thermal conduction, while also increasing pressure drop. The optimal design of porous media in heat exchangers must balance higher heat transfer with increased pumping requirements.

This study examined the effect of temperature on the biodegradation of biodegradable solid waste. A simulated landfill reactor was constructed and layered with soil, waste, and soil. Hot water at 80°C was passed through one reactor to increase the temperature, while a control reactor had no temperature control. Degradation was measured by changes in waste height over time. The reactor with increased temperature showed much faster degradation, with complete degradation within 16 days. The control reactor showed much slower degradation, with only a 4.1cm reduction in waste height after 30 days. The results indicate that higher temperature significantly accelerates the rate of biodegradable solid waste degradation.
Non-Newtonian Visco-elastic Heat Transfer Flow Past a Stretching Sheet with C...IJERA Editor
In this paper two dimensional flow of a viscoelastic fluid due to stretching surface is considered. Flow analysis is carried out by using closed form solution of fourth order differential equation of motion of viscoelastic fluid. Further (Walters’ liquid B’ model) heat transfer analysis is carried out using convective surface condition. The governing equations of flow and heat transfer are non-linear partial differential equations which are unable to solve analytically hence are solved using Runge-Kutta Numerical Method with efficient shooting technique. The flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied through plots drawn. Numerical values of Wall temperature are calculated and presented in the table and compared with earlier published results which are in good agreement
The study of semiconductor layer effect on underground cables with Time Domai...IOSR Journals
This document presents a study on how the semiconductor layers in underground cables can affect Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurements. The researchers developed a circuit model that includes the electrical resistance of the semiconductor layers to better simulate TDR signals. Simulations using the proposed model showed good agreement with measurements from a new cable but not an aged cable. The model was updated to represent resistance in the aged cable's semiconductor layers caused by degradation over time. Simulations with this updated model matched experimental TDR results from the aged cable better than the original model. The study demonstrates that changes in semiconductor layer resistance due to aging can impact TDR pulse propagation in cables.

This document summarizes research on the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on a high-rise reinforced concrete building located in Mumbai, India. SSI considers how a structure's foundation and the underlying soil affect each other when experiencing dynamic loads like earthquakes. The study models a 42-storey building using ETABS and analyzes the structure both with and without considering SSI effects using pile-raft and raft foundations in MIDAS GTX NX. Results show that accounting for SSI leads to reduced settlements, reactions and solid stresses compared to a fixed-base model. The conclusions emphasize that SSI effects are most important for flexible structures on soft soils and that simple analytical models are usually sufficient for engineering applications

This document analyzes the performance of Wi-Fi networks under three conditions: no fading, flat fading, and dispersive fading. It simulates these conditions using an IEEE 802.11a WLAN physical layer model in Matlab. The simulation measures packet error rate and bit rate as the signal-to-noise ratio and maximum Doppler shift are varied. With no fading, there is no packet error and bit rate increases with SNR. Under flat and dispersive fading, packet error and bit rates are affected differently based on the maximum Doppler shift. The best performance occurs under flat fading with a lower maximum Doppler shift of 100Hz.

This paper analyzes the radiation and chemical reaction effects on MHD steady two-dimensional laminar
viscous incompressible radiating boundary layer flow over a flat plate in the presence of internal heat generation

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

It proposes using color filters in the aperture to exploit parallax cues for segmentation and blur estimation. Finally, it proposes moving the image sensor circularly during exposure to prevent high frequency attenuation from motion blur.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT.

Abstract: This article deals with a study of two dimensional free convective flow of a polar fluid through a
porous medium due to combined effects of thermal and mass diffusion in presence of a chemical reaction of first
order. The objective of the present investigation is to analyze the free convective flow in the presence of
prescribed wall heat flux and mass flux condition. The governing partial differential equations are non-
dimensionalized and transformed into a system of non-similar equations. The resulting coupled nonlinear
partial differential equations are solved numerically under appropriate transformed boundary conditions using
an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with quasilinearisation technique. Computations are
performed for a wide range of values of the various governing flow parameters of the velocity, angular velocity,
temperature and species concentration profiles and results are presented graphically. The numerical results for
local skin friction coefficient, couple stress coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are
also presented. The obtained results are compared with previously published work and were to be in excellent
agreement. The study reveals that the flow characteristics are profoundly influenced by the polar effects.
Keywords: Free convection; polar fluid; porous medium; chemical reaction; quasilinearisation.
I. Introduction
The flow through a porous medium under the influence of temperature and concentration differences, is
one of the most important and contemporary subjects, because it finds great applications in geothermy,
geophysics and technology. The practical interest in convective heat and mass transfer through a porous medium
has grown rapidly due to the wide range of applications in engineering fields. These important applications
include such areas as geothermal energy utilization, thermal energy storage and recoverable systems, petroleum
reservoirs, insulation of high temperature gas-solid reaction vessels, chemical catalytic convectors, storage of
grain, fruits and vegetables, pollutant dispersion in aquifers, agricultural and water distribution, buried electrical
cables, combustion in situ in underground reservoirs for the enhancement of oil recovery, ceramic radiant
porous burners used in industrial firms as efficient heat and mass transfer devices and the reduction of hazardous
combustion products using catalytic porous beds. An excellent review on this subject can be found in the review
article by Cheng [1]. Lee et al. [2] examined the effects of mixed convection along vertical cylinders and
needles with uniform surface heat flux using a single curvature parameter as well as single buoyancy parameter
to treat the limiting case of natural convection along the surface.
Non-Newtonian fluids in porous media exhibit a non-linear flow behavior that is different from that of
Newtonian fluids in porous media. The research on heat and mass transfer in flows of non-Newtonian fluids in
porous media is very important due to its practical applications in engineering, such as oil recovery, food
processing, the spreading of contaminants in the environment and in various processes in the chemical and
materials industry. Chen and Chen [3] presented similarity solutions for natural convection of a non-Newtonian
fluid over vertical surfaces in porous media. Nakayama and Koyama [4] studied the natural convection of a non-
Newtonian fluid over non-isothermal body of arbitrary shape in a porous medium. Kim and Hyun [5] examined
natural convection flow of power-law fluid in an enclosure filled with heat generating porous media. Rastogi
and Poulikakos [6] studied double diffusion from a vertical surface embedded in a porous medium saturated
with a non-Newtonian fluid. These authors have found that the variation of the wall temperature and
concentration necessary to yield a constant heat and mass flux at the wall depended strongly on the power law
index. Jumah and Majumdar [7, 8] analyzed heat and mass transfer in free convection flow of non-Newtonian
power law fluids with yield stress over a vertical plate in saturated porous media subjected to constant/variable
wall temperature and concentration. Recently, Cheng [9] studied heat and mass transfer in natural convection of
non-Newtonian power law fluids with yield stress in porous media from a vertical plate with variable wall heat
and mass fluxes.
Another important class of fluids, called polar fluids, which is a special family of non-Newtonian
fluids, whose constitutive equations were developed by Aero et al. [10] and D’ep [11], exhibits boundary layer
phenomenon. In the literature, polar fluids are characterized as those fluids with micro-structures, which are
mechanically significant when the characteristic dimension of the problem is of the same order of magnitude as
2. Chemical Reaction Effects On Free Convective Flow Of A Polar Fluid From A Vertical Plate With
www.iosrjournals.org 67 | Page
the size of the micro-structure. Extensive reviews of the theory can be found in the review article by Cowin [12].
Since the micro-structure size is the same as the average pore size, it is pertinent to study the flow of polar fluids
through a porous medium. The examples of fluids which can be modeled as polar fluids are mud, crude oil,
body fluids, lubricants with polymer additives, etc. The effects of couple stresses on the flow of polar fluids
through a porous medium are studied by Patil and Hiremath [13]. Hiremath and Patil [14] examined the effects
of free convection on the oscillatory flow of a couple stress fluids through a porous medium. Effects of MHD on
unsteady free convection flow past a vertical porous plate was investigated by Helmy [15]. Steady flow of a
polar fluid through a porous medium by using Forchheimer’s model was discussed by Raptis and Takhar [16].
Kim [17] analysed the unsteady MHD convection flow of polar fluids past a vertical moving porous plate in a
porous medium. Analytical solutions for the problem of the flow of a polar fluid past a vertical porous plate in
the presence of couple stresses and radiation, where the temperature of the plate is assumed to oscillate about a
mean value are obtained by Ogulu [18]. Patil and Kulkarni [19] examined the effects of chemical reaction on
free convective flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium in the presence of internal heat generation.
Recently, Patil [20] analysed the effects of free convection on the oscillatory flow of a polar fluid through a
porous medium in the presence of variable wall heat flux. Free convective oscillatory flow of a polar fluid
through a porous medium in the presence of oscillating suction and temperature was examined by Patil and
Kulkarni [21]. Chang and Lee [22] examined the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the free convection on
a vertical plate with uniform and constant heat flux in a thermally stratified micropolar fluid.
The study of chemically-reactive flows with heat and mass transfer is also of fundamental interest in
engineering science research [23]. Levenspiel [24] provided an excellent discussion of such flows in the context
of chemical processes and batch reactor systems. Such flows are also important in cooling tower design,
geochemical transport in repositories and the dynamics of fog and mist composition, drying, distribution of
temperature and moisture over agricultural fields and groves of fruit trees, damage of crops due to freezing,
evaporation at the surface of a water body. Chemical reaction can be modeled as either homogeneous or
heterogeneous processes. This depends on whether they occur at an interface or a single phase volume reaction.
A homogeneous reaction is one that occurs uniformly throughout a given phase. On the other hand,
heterogeneous reaction takes place in a restricted area or within the boundary of a phase. The order of the
chemical reaction depends on several factors. One of the simplest chemical reactions is the first-order reaction in
which the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the species concentration. Fairbanks and Wilks [25] were
among the first researchers to use a homogeneous chemical reaction model in their study of isothermal diffusive
flow past a soluble surface. Van Genuchten [26] presented a theoretical model for adsorping and decaying
chemically-reactive mass transfer. Das et al. [27] studied the effects of mass transfer on the flow started
impulsively past an infinite vertical plate in the presence of wall heat flux and chemical reaction.
Muthucumaraswamy and Ganeshan [28, 29] studied the impulsive motion of a vertical plate with heat flux/
mass flux/ suction and diffusion of chemically reactive species. Seddeek [30] employed the finite element
method for studying the effects of chemical reaction, variable viscosity, thermophoresis, and heat
generation/absorption on a boundary layer hydromagnetic flow with heat and mass transfer over a heated
surface. Kandasamy et al. [31] examined the effects of chemical reaction on flow, heat and mass transfer with
heat source and suction. Kandasamy et al. [32] also examined the chemical reaction effects on
Magnetohydrodynamics flow, heat and mass transfer with heat source and suction. Raptis and Perdikis [33]
examined the effects of viscous flow over a non-linearly stretching sheet in the presence of chemical reaction
and magnetic field.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of chemical reaction on natural convection
flow, with heat and mass transfer, of a polar fluid through a porous medium in the presence of couple stresses
and uniform wall heat and mass fluxes. The flow configuration is modeled as a vertical plate bounding the
porous region filled with fluid containing soluble and insoluble chemical materials. The fluid is modeled as a
polar fluid. The system of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations governing the flow is non-
dimensionalized and transformed into a system of non-similar, coupled nonlinear partial differential equations.
The resulting coupled nonlinear equations are solved numerically under appropriate transformed boundary
conditions using an implicit finite-difference scheme in combination with a quasi-linearization technique
Inouye and Tate [34] and Patil and Roy [35]. The obtained results are compared with some results reported by
Lee et al. [2] and Chang and Lee [22] and are found to be in excellent agreement. The study reveals that the
flow field is considerably influenced by the combined effects of mass and thermal diffusion in presence of
chemical reaction and couple stresses.
II. Mathematical Formulation
We consider steady, laminar, two-dimensional natural convection flow of a viscous incompressible
polar fluid over a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. The x-coordinate is measured from
the leading edge of the vertical plate and the y-coordinate is measured normal to the plate. The velocity, angular
3. Chemical Reaction Effects On Free Convective Flow Of A Polar Fluid From A Vertical Plate With

velocity, temperature and concentration fields are , ,0u v , 0,0, , T and C, respectively. Figure 1 shows
the coordinate system and physical model for the flow configuration. The surface is maintained at uniform heat
flux wq as well as uniform mass flux wm . The concentration of diffusing species is assumed to be very small in
comparison with other chemical species far from the surface C , and is infinitely small. Hence, the Soret and
Dufour effects are neglected. However, the first-order homogeneous chemical reaction is assumed to take place
in the flow. All thermo-physical properties of the fluid in the flow model are assumed to be constant except the
density variations causing the buoyancy force represented by the body force term in the momentum equation.
The Boussinesq approximation is invoked for the fluid properties to relate density changes to temperature and
concentration changes, and to couple in this way the temperature and concentration fields to the flow field
(Schlichting [36]). Under the above assumptions, the equations of conservation of mass, momentum, angular
momentum, energy and concentration governing the free convection boundary layer flow through porous
medium are given by (Aero et al. [10], D’ep [11], Patil [20] and Patil and Kulkarni [19, 21]):

of micro elements. The case m = 1.0, which corresponds to the modeling of turbulent boundary layer flows.
Here, we shall consider the case of m = 0.5.

where is the edge of the boundary layer.
Since the method is explained by Inouye and Tate [34] and also in a recent paper by Patil and Roy [35],
its detailed analysis is not presented here for the sake of brevity. In brief, the nonlinear coupled ordinary
differential equations were replaced by an iterative sequence of linear equations following quasi-linearization
technique. The resulting sequences of linear ordinary differential equations were expressed in difference form
using central difference scheme in - direction. In each iteration step, the equations were then reduced to a
system of linear algebraic equations with a block tri-diagonal structure which is solved by using Varga
algorithm [37].
To ensure the convergence of the numerical solution to the exact physical solution, the step size
and the edge of the boundary layer have been optimized and the results presented here are independent of the
step size at least up to the fifth decimal place. The step size of has been taken as 0.01. A convergence
criterion based on the relative difference between the current and previous iteration values is employed. When
the value of this difference reaches less than
5
10
, the solution is assumed to have converged and the iterative
process is terminated. Accuracy of the presented approach is verified by direct comparison with the results
previously reported by Lee et al. [2] and Chang and Lee [22] for a free convective flow of a Newtonian fluid

along a vertical flat plate (α=0, Δ=0, λ=0 and 1/Da=0). The results of this comparison are presented in Table 1
and are found to be in excellent agreement.
IV. Results and Discussion
The numerical computations have been carried out for various values of the parameters,
namely, 1.0 3.0 , 2.0 9.0 , 0.0 5.0 , 0.22 2.64Sc Sc ,
0.5 1.0 , Pr 0.01 Pr 100 and 1.0 100000000.0Da Da . The edge of the
boundary layer is taken between 2.5 and 25.0 depending on the values of the parameters.
The effects of ratio of buoyancy forces parameter ( ) and Prandtl number (Pr) on the
velocity ,F , angular velocity , , temperature , and concentration , are
presented in Figs. 2–5. The velocity profiles ,F and skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxC Gr
results are
displayed in Figs. 2a and 2b, respectively, for different values buoyancy ratio parameter (λ) and Prandtl number
(Pr). For aiding flow 0 , the ratio of buoyancy forces shows the significant overshoot in the velocity
profiles near the surface for lower and higher Prandtl numbers (Pr=100) fluid. Although, the magnitude of the
overshoot increases with the ratio of buoyancy forces parameter 0 , it decreases as the Prandtl number
(Pr) increases. The physical reason is that the buoyancy force affects more in smaller Prandtl number fluid
(Pr = 0.01) due to the lower viscosity of the fluid. Hence, the velocity increases within the boundary layer due to
combined effects of assisting buoyancy forces, acts like a favorable pressure gradient and the velocity overshoot
occurs. For higher Prandtl numbers (Pr = 100) fluids the overshoot is less present as compared to the lower
Prandtl numbers (Pr = 0.01). Because a higher Prandtl number (Pr) with more viscous fluid which makes it less
sensitive to the buoyancy forces. The effects of (the ratio of buoyancy forces) and Prandtl number (Pr) on the
skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
when = 1.0, = 4.0, Sc = 0.22, = 0.5, = 1.0 and Da = 1.0 are
shown in Fig.2b. Results indicate that the skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
increases with buoyancy
force for both lower and higher Prandtl numbers monotonously. This is due to the fact that the increase of
enhances the fluid acceleration and hence, the skin-friction coefficient increases. However, skin-friction
coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
increases for lower Prandtl number fluid. In particular for Pr = 100 at = 1.0, the
skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
increases approximately 127 % as increases from =1.0 to 3.0
while for Pr = 0.01 the skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
increases approximately about 18% when
increases from = 1.0 to 3.0.
In Figs. 3a and 3b, the angular velocity profiles , and wall couple stress coefficient
2/5
mfGr C
results for different values of buoyancy parameter ( ) and Prandtl number (Pr) are displayed,
respectively. The negative values of the dimensionless angular velocity indicate that the micro rotation of
substructures in the polar fluid is in the clock-wise direction. It is observed that the variation of leads to
decrease in the angular velocity. Further, the angular velocity is found to increase with the higher Prandtl
number (Pr) near the surface due to polar effects. The wall couple stress coefficient 2/5
mfGr C
increases
with buoyancy for both lower and higher Prandtl number (Pr) fluid monotonously as can be seen in Fig. 3b. In
particular at = 1.0, 2/5
mfGr C
increases approximately 28% as increases from =1.0 to 3.0 when Pr
= 0.01 while for Pr = 100, 2/5
mfGr C
increases approximately 137% when increases from = 1.0 to
3.0.
The temperature , and heat transfer coefficient 1/5
xGr Nu
profiles are plotted in Figs. 4a and
4b, respectively, for different values buoyancy parameter ( ) and Prandtl number (Pr). The results indicate that
an increase in the buoyancy parameter ( ) as well as the Prandtl number (Pr) clearly induces a strong reduction
8. Chemical Reaction Effects On Free Convective Flow Of A Polar Fluid From A Vertical Plate With
www.iosrjournals.org 73 | Page
in the temperature of the fluid and thus resulting in a thinner thermal boundary layer. It is further observed that
the heat transfer coefficient 1/5
xGr Nu
increases with for both higher and lower Prandtl number (Pr)
consistently. It is also observed that for higher Prandtl number (Pr), the heat transfer coefficient
1/5
xGr Nu
is found to reduce considerably compared to the lower Prandtl number fluid. In particular, at =
1.0, 1/5
xGr Nu
increases approximately just about 3% as increases from = 1.0 to 3.0 with Pr = 0.01
while for Pr = 100, 1/5
xGr Nu
increases approximately about 16% when increases from = 1.0 to 3.0.
In Figs. 5a and 5b, the concentration , and mass transfer coefficient 1/5
xGr Sh
profiles for
different values of the buoyancy ratio parameter ( ) and Prandtl number (Pr) are depicted, respectively. It is
seen that the concentration profile decreases with increasing values of . However, the influence of buoyancy
on the concentration profile is very less for both higher and lower Prandtl number. The behavior of the mass
transfer rate 1/5
xGr Sh
with is opposite to the case of heat transfer coefficient 1/5
xGr Sh
. In
particular at = 1.0, 1/5
xGr Sh
increases approximately within 5% as increases from = 1.0 to 3.0 with
Pr = 0.01 while for Pr = 100, there is no impact of buoyancy on 1/5
xGr Sh
as increases from = 1.0 to
3.0.
The effects of the Darcy number Da and the material parameter on the velocity ,F ,
angular velocity , , temperature , and the concentration , profiles are displayed in
Figs. 6–9. The velocity ,F and the skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
profiles are presented for
different values Darcy number Da and the material parameter in Figs. 6a and 6b, respectively. It is
observed from Fig. 6a that the velocity ,F profile decreases considerably with increasing values of the
material parameter . The significant overshoot near the surface in the velocity profile is observed for the
case without the porous medium Da . However, it is observed that the velocity decreases in the
presence of the porous medium 1.0Da as compared to the case without the porous medium Da .
The effects of the Darcy number Da and the material parameter on the skin-friction coefficient
11/25
fxGr C
when = 1.0, = 4.0, Sc = 0.22, = 0.5, Pr = 0.7 and = 1.0 are shown in Fig. 6b. It is
observed that the skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
increases considerably with increasing values of the
material parameter . This is due to the fact that the increase of enhances the fluid acceleration and
hence, the skin-friction coefficient increases. In particular for = 1.0 at = 1.0, the skin-friction coefficient
increases approximately about 24% as increases from = 1.0 to 3.0 with a porous medium
1.0Da while for the case without a porous medium Da , the skin-friction coefficient increases
approximately 35% when increases from = 1.0 to 3.0.
The angular velocity , and the wall couple stress coefficient 2/5
mfGr C
profiles are
plotted in Figs. 7a and 7b, respectively, for different values of Darcy number Da and material
parameter . It is noted that the variation of leads to a considerable increase in the magnitude of the
angular velocity. Further, the angular velocity is found to decrease in the presence of the porous
medium 1.0Da near the surface and away from the surface increases. However, the angular velocity
, is found to be reduced when the porous medium is present in comparison to the case without the

porous medium. The wall couple stress coefficient 2/5
mfGr C
increases with monotonously for
increasing in both the cases with or without the porous medium. In particular at = 1.0,
2/5
mfGr C
decreases approximately about 42% as increases from 1.0 to 3.0 when the porous medium is
present while for the case without the porous medium, the wall couple stress coefficient decreases
approximately about 45% when increases from = 1.0 to 3.0.
The effects of the Darcy number Da and the material parameter on the temperature ,
and the heat transfer rate 1/5
xGr Nu
profiles are shown in Figs. 8a and 8b. These results indicate that an
increase in the material parameter clearly induces a strong increase in the temperature of the fluid and thus
results in a thicker thermal boundary layer while in the absence of the porous medium Da , the
temperature profile induces a reduction in the fluid temperature and hence yielding a thinner thermal boundary
layer. It is further observed that the heat transfer coefficient 1/5
xGr Nu
decreases with variation of the
material parameter . In particular at = 1.0, 1/5
xGr Nu
decreases approximately about 16% as the
material parameter increases from 1.0 to 3.0 in the presence of the porous medium 1.0Da while for
the case without the porous medium Da , 1/5
xGr Nu
decreases approximately 10% when the
material parameter increases from 1.0 to 3.0.
Figures 9a and 9b illustrate the influence of the Darcy number Da and the material parameter
on the concentration , and the mass transfer rate 1/5
xGr Sh
, respectively. It is noted that an increase
in the value of the material parameter leads to a rise in the concentration profile while it falls for the case
when the porous medium is absent Da . It is further observed that the mass transfer coefficient
decreases with the material parameter for an increasing monotonously. In particular at = 1.0,
1/5
xGr Sh
increases approximately about 7% as the material parameter increases from 1.0 to 3.0 for
1.0Da while for Da , 1/5
xGr Sh
increases approximately about 4% when the material
parameter increases from 1.0 to 3.0.
The effects of the material parameters and on the angular velocity , and the wall
couple stress coefficient 2/5
mfGr C
profiles are displayed in Figs. 10a and 10b, respectively. It is noted that
the angular velocity profile increases with increasing values of the material parameters and . It clearly
indicates that the wall couple stresses are dominant during the rotation of the particles. It is further noted that the
wall couple stress coefficient 2/5
mfGr C
decreases significantly with increasing values of the material
parameters and . In particular at = 1.0, 2/5
mfGr C
decreases approximately about 78% as
increases from 2.0 to 9.0 at = 1.0 and 3.0, respectively.
Figures 11a and 12a are displayed the variations of the velocity ,F and concentration ,
profiles for various values of the Schmidt number Sc and the chemical reaction parameter , respectively. It is
observed that the magnitude of the velocity and concentration distributions increase significantly, when the
chemical reaction parameter 0 (species consumption or destructive chemical reaction), is increased. An
increase in the concentration of the diffusing species increases the mass diffusion and thus, in turn, the fluid
velocity increases. On the contrary, for >0 (species generation or constructive chemical reaction), as
increases the velocity distribution decreases, so that the concentration reduces. The values of the Schmidt
10. Chemical Reaction Effects On Free Convective Flow Of A Polar Fluid From A Vertical Plate With

number (Sc) are chosen to be more realistic, 0.22, 0.66, 2.64, representing diffusing chemical species of most
common interest like water, Propyl Benzene hydrogen, water vapor and Propyl Benzene, etc., at 25 degrees
Celsius at one atmospheric pressure. It is also observed that the concentration and velocity boundary layers are
decreased as the Schmidt number Sc is increased. The physical reason is that an increase in the value of the
Schmidt number Sc leads to a thinning of the concentration boundary layer. As a result, the concentration of the
fluid decreases and this leads to a decrease in the fluid velocity.
The variations of the skin-friction coefficient 11/25
fxGr C
and the mass transfer rate
1/5
xGr Sh
are presented in Figs. 11b and 12b, respectively. The skin-friction coefficient decreases for
increasing values of the chemical reaction parameter while the mass transfer rate increases for increasing
values of the chemical reaction parameter . In particular at = 1.0, 11/25
fxGr C
decreases approximately
about 22% as the chemical reaction parameter increases from -0.5 to 0.0 for Sc = 0.66 while 11/25
fxGr C
decreases approximately about 24% for Sc = 2.64. Furthermore, when the chemical reaction parameter
increases from 0.0 to 1.0, 11/25
fxGr C
decreases about 20% approximately for Sc = 0.66 while
11/25
fxGr C
decreases approximately 14% for Sc = 2.64 (Fig. 11b). The mass transfer rate 1/5
xGr Sh
increases about 64% approximately as the chemical reaction parameter increases from -0.5 to 0.0 for Sc =
0.66 while 1/5
xGr Sh
, increases approximately 130% for Sc = 2.64. Furthermore, when the chemical
reaction parameter increases from 0.0 to 1.0, 1/5
xGr Sh
increases 92% approximately for Sc = 0.66
while 1/5
xGr Sh
increases approximately 122% for Sc = 2.64 (Fig. 12b).
V. Conclusions
A detailed numerical analysis for the problem of coupled heat and mass transfer by natural convection
flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium bounded by a vertical plate in the presence of first-order
chemical reaction was carried out. The plate was maintained at uniform heat and mass fluxes. The governing
equations were transformed into a set of non-similar equations. This set of non-similar, coupled nonlinear,
partial differential equations governing the flow, heat and mass transfer was solved numerically using an
implicit finite-difference scheme in combination with quasi-linearization technique. Conclusions of the study are
summarized as follows:
1. The effect of the ratio of buoyancy forces caused overshoot in the velocity profiles.
2. The effects of the material parameters and were significant on the velocity, angular velocity,
temperature and concentration profile.
3. The velocity of the polar fluid decreased as the material parameter increased.
4. A relatively higher Prandtl number (such as Pr = 7.0 for water) caused thinner momentum and thermal
boundary layers while it produced thicker angular momentum and concentration boundary layers.
5. The fluid velocity decreased in the presence of a porous medium as compared to the case without a porous
medium.
6. The effects of the chemical reaction parameter and the Schmidt number Sc were found to decrease the
velocity and concentration profiles.
