摘要
This work is aimed at describing MHD mixed convective heat and mass transfer peristaltic flow through a vertical porous space in the presence of a chemical reaction. The flow is examined in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The momentum, energy and concentration equation have been linearized under long-wavelength approximation. Expressions for dimensionless stream function, temperature and concentration field are constructed. The features of the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are analyzed by plotting graphs and discussed in detail. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
