Effects of various parameter on concentration profiles

This section considers the influence of the flow parameters on the concentration profiles and depicted in Figures (13) to (18). Figure (13) shows \(D_{f}\) effects on Blasius and Sakiadis flows. It is observed that concentration profiles increase as \(D_{f}\) increases for Blasius flow but experiences a swirling first effect and then decreases for the Sakiadis flow. Figure (14) shows that increase in Ecdecreases for Blasius flow but for Sakiadis flow, the concentration profiles experiences a decrease at the boundary layer and later increases at the free stream. Figure (15) shows that the concentration profiles decrease with increase in \(Gr_{x}\) for Blasius flow and the Sakiadis flow. It can be seen from Figure (16a) that increase in\(M_{x}\) have dual effect on the concentration profiles of Blasius flow. It is observed that concentration profiles increase in the boundary layer but decreases towards the free stream along the boundary layer. While the concentration profiles remains unchanged initially away from the plate, it later increased towards the free stream as \(M_{x}\)increased for Sakiadis flow (see Figure (16b)). Figure (17) shows the influence of \(\Pr\) on the concentration profiles for Blasius and Sakiadis flows. It is observed that Blasius flow experiences decrease in the concentration profiles with increase in \(\Pr\) whereas Sakiadis flow experiences increase in the concentration profiles with increasing values of \(\Pr\). Figure (18) shows the influence of Sr on the concentration profiles and it is observed that the concentration profiles decreases with increase in Sr for the Blasius flow with dual effect for the Sakiadis flow. These analysed results are in agreement with existing literatures.
