ABSTRACT


This study presents a steady, two dimensional, incompressible heat and mass transfer flow of an electrically conducting tangent hyperbolic fluid in the presence of thermal dispersion induced by a stretching surface. The governing partial differential equations, using similarity variables are transformed to a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The dimensionless results were obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles and presented graphically. The obtained results shows that Weissenberg number increases with decrease in velocity profiles as thermophoresis effect increases with increase in concentration profiles.
