Effect of Soret and Dufour Numbers on Chemically Reacting Powell-Eyring Fluid Flow over an Exponentially Stretching Sheet

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the heat and mass transfer in the boundary layer flow of an Eyring-Powell fluid due to an exponentially stretching sheet with chemical reaction and thermal radiation. By utilizing the similarity transformations, the governing equations are changed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by using bvp4c MATLAB package. The physical significance of different parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number is discussed through graphs and tables. The results indicate that the influence of Soret and Dufour numbers are significantly active in the study of non-Newtonian fluid flows. Also, the mixed convection parameter has an inverse relationship with thermal and concentration fields.
