Free convection and mass transfer flow through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical limiting surface with constant suction
Abstract
A mathematical analysis of steady two-dimensional free convection and mass transfer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a porous medium bounded by a vertical infinite limiting surface is presented. Expressions are found for velocity, temperature, concentration and heat transfer rates. The effects of the Grashof number, the modified Grashof number and the permeability of the porous medium are examined for the case when the surface is subjected to a constant suction velocity.
