Effect of Heat Absorption on Jeffery Fluid Flow in a Saturated Porous Medium with Injection

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the effect of heat absorption on Jeffery fluid flow in a saturated porous Medium with injection. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the flow are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using regular perturbation technique and solutions for the velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained, also, skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer was gotten. Computations were carried out to examine the effects of flow parameters such as: Jeffery, heat absorption, magnetic field parameters, Prandtl number, thermal and mass Grashof number and Schmidt number which were graphically depicted and explained. The derived results have been validated with published researches. The research shows that an increase in the Jeffery parameter, heat absorption improve the velocity profiles. Also, both the thermal and mass Grashof numbers enhance the velocity profile, indicating the influence of buoyancy forces driven by temperature and concentration gradients. On the other hand, a similar trend is observed for increasing values of velocity slip and porosity parameters while a reverse pattern is seen for higher magnetic parameter.
