Abstract

In this work, effects of thermal radiation on Poiseuille flow of a reactive power-law fluid of grade three between heated parallel plates through a saturated porous medium is considered. It is assumed that the fluid reacts satisfying Arrhenius law. The chemical reaction is assumed to be strongly exothermic. We employed Galerkin weighted residual method to solve the resulting non-linear equations. The effects of various physical parameters on the flow system were reported graphically
