Abstract A theoretical investigation has been performed to describe the laminar flow of a rotating fluid past a porous plate in conducting field with variable temperature and variable concentration taking into account the chemical reaction, radiation and Dufour effects. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved numerically by using finite difference scheme. The effects of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are presented and discussed with the help of graphs. Also the numerical values for local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are recorded and analyzed. Increasing values of heat source parameter results in rising of the temperature, but… More >

Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate diffusion-thermo and radiation effects on unsteady free convection chemically reacting fluid flow past an accelerated infinite plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the fluid or to the plate. . Two important cases, when the magnetic lines of force are being fixed relative to the fluid (K=0) or to the moving plate (K=1) have been considered. A general exact solution of the dimensionless governing partial differential equations is obtained by Laplace transform technique without… More >

Abstract The heat and mass transfer characteristics of the influence of uniform blowing/suction and MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) on the free convection of non-Newtonian fluids over a vertical plate in porous media with internal heat generation and Soret/Dufour effects are numerically analyzed. The surface of the vertical plate has a uniform wall temperature and uniform wall concentration (UWT/UWC). The numerical modeling of this problem attracts considerable attention, owing to its practical applications in biological sciences, electronic cooling, advanced nuclear systems, etc. The transformed governing equations are solved by Keller box method. Comparisons showed excellent agreement with the numerical data in previous works. Numerical… More >

Abstract Double diffusive natural convection in an open cavity under the Soret and Dufour effect is simulated numerically. The influences of different Rayleigh numbers (range from 103 to 107), Lewis numbers (range from 0.5 to 8), buoyancy ratios (range from -5 to 5) and Soret and Dufour (range from 0 to 0.5) on the flow field, temperature and concentration distributions, as well as on the variation of the average Nusselt number and the average Sherwood number are investigated. The result shows that, when buoyancy ratios is -1, the average Nusselt number and the average Sherwood number reaches the minimum, namely the… More >

Abstract The present work provides an analysis of the Dufour, radiation absorption, Hall and ion slip effects on MHD free convective rotating flow of Agwater based nanofluid past a semi-infinite permeable moving plate with constant heat source. In this regard, metal will be considered as nanoparticles with water as base fluid. Governing nonlinear boundary layer equations and boundary conditions are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary coupled differential equations and are solved by perturbation technique. Effects of different parameters on skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and Local Sherwood number are also discussed. More >

Abstract A magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of fractional Maxwell fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate is considered. In addition, other factors such as heat generation and chemical reaction are used in the problem. The flow model is solved using Caputo fractional derivative. Initially, the governing equations are made non-dimensional and then solved by Laplace transform. The influence of different parameters like diffusion thermo, fractional parameter, Magnetic field, chemical reaction, Prandtl number and Maxwell parameter are discussed through numerous graphs. From figures, it is observed that fluid motion decreases with increasing values of Schmidt number and chemical reaction, whereas velocity field decreases… More >

Abstract This work aims to investigate numerically the influence of the buoyancy ratio and the Dufour parameter on thermosolutal convection in a square Salt Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP). The absorption of solar radiation by the saline water, the heat losses and the wind effects via the SGSP free surface are considered. The mathematical model is based on the Navier-Stokes equations used in synergy with the thermal energy equation. These equations are solved using the finite volume method and the Gauss algorithm. Velocity-pressure coupling is implemented through the SIMPLE algorithm. Simulations of the SGSP are performed for three values of buoyancy ratio… More >

Abstract An unsteady viscous fluid flow with Dufour and Soret effect, which results in heat and mass transfer due to upward and downward motion of flexible rotating disk, has been studied. The upward or downward motion of non rotating disk results in two dimensional flow, while the vertical action and rotation of the disk results in three dimensional flow. By using an appropriate transformation the governing equations are transformed into the system of ordinary differential equations. The system of ordinary differential equations is further converted into first order differential equation by selecting suitable variables. Then, we generalize the model by using… More >
