Abstract

In this paper, the problem of unsteady convection with chemical reaction and radiative heat transfer past a flat porous platemoving through a binarymixture in an optically thin environment is presented. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved numerically by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme along with shooting technique. Numerical data for the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number have been tabulated for various values of parametric conditions. Graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles based on the numerical solutions are presented and discussed
