Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyse the flow of viscoelastic fluid of Rivilin-Ericksen type down, an inclined plate under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field, in the presence of viscous dissipation, thermo diffusion and chemical reaction effects. It is assumed that the flow of fluid is between two inclined heated parallel plates. In the case of stationary convection, the Rivlin-Erickson fluid behaves like an ordinary Newtonian fluid. The dimensionless governing equations are solved analytically by using perturbation method. The effects of velocity, temperature, concentration, the skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number for different flow parameters are shown in the graphical and the tabular forms.
