Deskripsi

The present study addresses the three-dimensional flow of a Prandtl fluid over a Riga plate in the presence of chemical reaction and convective condition. The converted set of boundary layer equations are solved numerically by RKF four-fifth method. Obtained numerical results for flow and mass transfer characteristics are discussed for various physical parameters. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number are also presented. It is found that, the momentum boundary layer thickness is dominant for higher values of α and solutal boundary layer is low for higher Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter.
