| Summary: | We analyzed in this paper the problem of mixed convection along a vertical plate in a non-Newtonian fluid
saturated non-Darcy porous medium in the presence of melting and thermal dispersion-radiation effects for
aiding and opposing external flows. Similarity solution for the governing equations is obtained for the flow
equations in steady state. The equations are numerically solved by using Runge-kutta fourth order method
coupled with shooting technique. The effects of melting (M), thermal dispersion (D), radiation (R), magnetic
field (MH), viscosity index (n) and mixed convection (Ra/Pe) on fluid velocity and temperature are examined
for aiding and opposing external flows. |
