Thermo-Diffusive Flow of Chemically Reacting Fluid in a Saturated Porous Medium for Radiative Heat Flux

Abstract

A theoretical investigation has been made for a radiating and chemically reacting viscous-fluid of a conducting gas over a vertical porous surface immerse in a saturated porous medium for the impact of magnetic drag-force, buoyancy forces and thermal-diffusion (Soret) order under oscillatory suction and heat absorption. The analytical solutions have been derived for the physical variables related to the governing equations under the appropriate boundary conditions. It is found that the velocity profiles increase with the increasing values of Soret number (S₀) and higher Soret number (S₀ = 5) shows the large temperature difference. It is noticed that increasing radiation parameter (R) elevated the velocity profiles near the plate. In the effects of Soret number (S₀) the velocity profiles are an increasing function for both the cases of  M = 0 and M = 10. The validity and accuracy of the flow model is presented and found suitable to proceed the work. In this study, the findings would be useful in many practical areas such as diffusion operations, which involved molecular diffusion of species with molar concentration.
