Research Abstract

The present paper investigates heat and mass transfer over a moving porous plate with hydrodynamic slip and thermal convective boundary conditions and concentration dependent diffusivity. The similarity representation of the system of partial differential equations of the problem is obtained through Lie group analysis. The resulting equations are solved numerically by Maple with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg
fourth-fifth order method. A representative set of results for the physical problem is displayed to illustrate the influence of parameters (velocity slip parameter, convective heat transfer parameter, concentration diffusivity parameter, Prandtl number and
Schmidt number) on the dimensionless axial velocity, temperature and concentration field as well as the wall shear stress, the rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer. The analytical solutions for velocity and temperature are obtained. Very good agreements are found between the analytical and numerical results of the present paper with published results.
