Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow with Arrhenius Reaction between Heated Parallel Plates through a Porous Medium
The flow of a fluid of grade three between heated parallel plates is examined. It is assumed that the fluid is temperature-dependent and reacts satisfying Arrhenius law. We employed Galerkin weighted residual method to solve the resulting non-linear equations. The results show the effects of Br Brinkman number, which is the parameter that controls the viscous dissipation, which is the non-Newtonian parameter.The result shows that the velocity of the flow decreases as Brinkman number, 1 M and ïŒ increases. The temperature of the flow decreases with increase in Frank ï€ Kamenetskii parameter. We also deduce from the result that Frank Kamenetskii parameter has considerable effects on the temperature profile of the system.
