Slip MHD flow over permeable stretching surface with chemical reaction

In this paper the magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) slip flow over a permeable stretching surface has been evaluated in the presence of a chemical reaction. Slip flow comes about if the characteristic size of the flow regime is small or the flow pressure is very low. By using appropriate similarity variables, the fundamental equations of the boundary layer are transformed to ordinary differential equations containing the Schmidt number, nonlinearity velocity of the surface and magnetic parameter which for a fixed values of slip coefficient (K) at the boundary conditions, local similarity solution would be valid. The ordinary differential equations of the problem are solved numerically using an explicit Runge-Kutta (4, 5) formula, the Dormand-Prince pair and shooting method. The velocity and concentration profiles in addition to the local skin-friction and the local Sherwood number for the various values of the involved parameters of the problem are presented and discussed in details.
