Laminar convection in binary mixture of hydromagnetic flow with radiative heat transfer, I

Abstract

The paper studies the hydromagnetic flow of a thermally-radiating binary mixture of an incompressible fluid. Both the Soret and Dufour effects are considered when the fluid is not chemically reacting. When the gas is optically thin the resultant system of ordinary differential equations could be solved in a closed form. Generally the problem is reduced to a set of integral equations which are tackled by perturbation and iteration. The problem is worthy of note in the re-entry problem.
