The effect of g-jitter on double diffusion by mixed convection past an inclined stretching sheet

Abstract

In this paper, the effect of g-jitter on double diffusion by mixed convection past an inclined stretching sheet is studied. The velocity, concentration and temperature of the sheet are assumed to vary linearly with x, where x is the distance along the sheet. The resulting non-similar boundary layer equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme. Numerical results on the flow and heat and mass transfer characteristics are presented graphically for different values of amplitude, buoyancy ratio parameter and inclination angle. Results show that rate of heat and mass transfers increase but reduced skin friction decreases as the angle of inclination increases. It is noted that as buoyancy ratio parameter increases, rate of heat and mass transfer as well as reduced skin friction are decreases.
