Authors:
Abstarct: Thermal non-equilibrium natural convection boundary laxyer which is induced by
a 2D vertical heated plate embedded in a homogenous porous medium is investigated
in this paper. The plate is assumed to have linear temperature and concentration
distributions. The effect of suction or injection on the boundary laxyer is also studied,
as is the effect of having a second diffusing species. A similarity solution is obtained
for the governing steady laminar boundary laxyer equations. The Nusselt numbers for
both the solid and fluid phases and the Sherwood number for solutal diffusion are
calculated for a wide range of parameters. A correlation for fluid and solid Nusselt
numbers is presented in this paper which is suitable for large values of suction/injection
parameter. The asymptotic curves of Nusselt numbers are also compared with the
obtained numerical results.
