ANALYSIS OF MHD MIXED CONVECTION OF WATER AT PEAK DENSITY PAST A VERTICAL PLATE WITH CHEMICAL REACTION EFFECTS

Flow of water at its maximum density past a vertical plate is considered. Effects of a transversely applied magnetic field, variation of the plate temperature and a first order chemical reaction on the flow field are studied by a similarity transformation of the governing equations. For various values of the magnetic, plate temperature exponent and chemical reaction parameter, numerical values proportionate to Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are tabulated and graphical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented. Computed values and graphical results for flow of water at a normal temperature are compared with that of flow at C
