On the solution of the successive linearization method to mixed convection boundary layer flow

Abstract

Mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power- law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium with chemical reaction and radiation effects is studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using successive linearization method. A parametric study of the physical parameters involved in the problem is conducted and a representative set of numerical results is illustrated through graphs and tables.
