| Summary: | The present analysis is concerned with the criteria for the onset of flow reversal
of the fully developed mixed convection in a vertical channel under the effect of the chemical reaction. The governing equations and the
critical values of the buoyancy force are solved and calculated numerically via MAPLE.
Parameter zones for the occurrence of reversed flow are presented. The exothermic
chemical reaction is found to enhance the flow reversal and made flow reversal possible
for symmetrical walls temperature. |
