We analyze analytically the effects of anisotropy in permeability and that of a transverse magnetic field on thermal convection in a porous medium saturated with a binary fluid and confined in a horizontal cavity. The porous medium, of great extension, is subjected to various conditions at the thermal and solutal boundaries. The axes of the permeability tensor are oriented obliquely with respect to the gravitational field. Based on a scale analysis, the velocity, temperature, and heat and mass transfer rate fields were determined. These results were validated by the study of borderline cases which are: pure porous media and pure fluid media discussed in the literature. It emerges from this study that the anisotropy parameters influence the convective flow. The application of a transverse magnetic field significantly reduces the speed of the flow and thereby affects the temperature field and the rate of heat and mass transfer.

Stretching Surface

A theoretical and numerical examination has been completed to talk about the unsteady, two dimensional slip flow of a nanofluid of heat and mass transfer with transverse magnetic field was investigated in this paper. A stretching surface is used to investigate the flow. Obtained nonlinear equations are solved by Spectral Relaxation Method (SRM) technique and the results are verified by comparing the results obtained by using the Matlab in-built boundary value problem solver bvp4c, and the outcomes which are published in previous papers. The outcomes are exhibited pictorially and talked about difference coming about parameters. Expanding heat transfer rate, mass transfer rate and velocity slip raises velocity yet to be diminishes temperature and skin friction (surface shear stress).
