Abstract This paper numerically investigates the interaction between thermodiffuion and buoyancy driven convection in a laterally heated vertical porous cavity for different permeability. The Firoozabadi model is applied to binary hydrocarbon mixtures: (i) the mixture of 1,2,3,4 tetrahydronaphtalene (THN) and dodecane (C12) with mass fraction of 50% for each component, (ii) 1,2,3,4 tetrahydronaphtalene and isobutylbenzene (IBB) with mass fraction of 50% for each component, and (iii) isobutylbenzene and dodecane with mass fraction of 50% for each component. The thermal and molecular diffusion coefficients, which are functions of the temperature and other properties of mixture, are calculated at each point of the… More >
