Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we investigate the heat and mass transfer in MHD convective flow past an infinite plate, through a porous media in presence of radiation, diffusion‐thermo effect, and heat sink. A uniform magnetic field is applied transversely in the fluid region. The novelty of the present work is to analyze the diffusion‐thermo effect on the flow phenomena in the presence of heat sink and thermal radiation. The governing equations are solved by perturbation technique to get expressions for velocity, temperature, and concentration fields. The influence of various physical quantities on the flow domain is studied graphically and in tabular form. It has been found that when heat flux is generated due to temperature gradient, the fluid velocity increases whereas the fluid temperature falls due to the diffusion‐thermo effect. The current results have been compared with the existing results in some cases and it has been found that the findings of the present study are consistent with earlier findings.
