Free convective flow over a vertical plate in a doubly stratified medium with electrophoresis, heat source/sink and chemical reaction effects

We analyzed the problem of unsteady, incompressible free convective doubly stratified flow past a semiinfinite vertical plate with the influence of electrophoresis, heat source/sink and chemical reaction. The partial differential equations governing the flow are solved by employing an implicit finite difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson type. The effect of heat generation and absorption in stratified and unstratified flow are examined and hence the influence of stratification on velocity, temperature and concentration are investigated and presented graphically. Further, the impact of the electrophoresis on particle concentration in the presence of generative and destructive reaction is analyzed. As well, the effects of the physical parameters on local and average values of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also investigated and illustrated graphically. The particular solutions of the present results are compared with the existing solution in literature and are found to be in good agreement.
