Abstract
A numerical study of a nonDarcy mixed convective heat and mass transfer flow over a vertical surface embedded in a porous medium under the effects of double dispersion melting and thermal radiation is investigated The set of governing boundary layer equations and the boundary conditions is transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the relevant boundary conditions The transformed equations are solved numerically by using the Chebyshev pseudospectral method Comparisons of the present results with the existing results in the literature are made and good agreement is found Numerical results for the velocity temperature concentration profiles and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed for various values of physical parameters
