Effect of Heat Generated by an Exothermic Chemical Reaction on the Mixed Convection Flow in a Vertical Porous Channel
摘要
The effect of a first order exothermic chemical reaction on the mixed flow in a vertical channel filled by a bidisperse porous medium was studied. The dimensionless governing ordinary differential equations have been solved numerically. It is found that dual solutions exist for both velocity and temperature. Graphical results showing profiles of temperature and velocities as well as the existence domain of the dual solutions are included.
