Abstract

A theoretical investigation has been performed to describe the laminar flow of a rotating fluid past a porous plate in conducting field with variable temperature and variable concentration taking into account the chemical reaction, radiation and Dufour effects. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved numerically by using finite difference scheme. The effects of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are presented and discussed with the help of graphs. Also the numerical values for local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are recorded and analyzed. Increasing values of heat source parameter results in rising of the temperature, but it falls down in the case of heat sink parameter.
