Abstract

The Combined buoyancy effect due to thermal diffusion as well as species diffusion on the boundary layer flow over a slender cylinder in the presence of a chemical reaction is investigated. Using an appropriate transformation, the governing equations are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations and are solved numerically via finite difference scheme. The obtained numerical results are compared with the available results in the literature for some special cases and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. The velocity, temperature, and the concentration profiles are presented graphically and analyzed for several sets of the physical parameters. The pooled effect of the thermal and mass Grashof number is to enhance the velocity and is quite the opposite for temperature and the concentration fields.
