Abstract

Mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law
fluid saturated Darcy porous medium with chemical reaction and radiation effects is studied. The
governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using
similarity transformations and then solved numerically using shooting method. A parametric study
of the physical parameters involved in the problem is conducted and a representative set of numerical
results is illustrated graphically
