Double Diffusive Natural Convection in Power-Law Fluid Saturated Porous Medium with Soret and Dufour Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of double diffusive natural convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically. A parametric study of the physical parameters involved in the problem is conducted and a representative set of numerical results is illustrated graphically.

Soret Dufour Driven Thermosolutal Instability of Darcy-maxwell Fluid
Linear stability of double diffusive convection of Darcy-Maxwell fluid with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated. The effects of the Soret and Dufour numbers, Lewis number, relaxation time and solutal Darcy Rayleigh number on the stationary and oscillatory convection are presented graphically. The Dufour number enhances the stability of Darcy-Maxwell fluid for stationary convection while it...
متن کاملCharacterization of unsteady double-diffusive mixed convection flow with soret and dufour effects in a square enclosure with top moving lid
The present study considers the numerical examination of an unsteady thermo-solutal mixed convection when the extra mass and heat diffusions, called as Soret and Dufour effects, were not neglected. The numerical simulations were performed in a lid-driven cavity, where the horizontal walls were kept in constant temperatures and concentrations. The vertical walls were well insulated. A finite vol...
متن کاملHeat and Mass Transfer from an Inverted Cone in a Porous Medium with Cross-Diffusion Effects
The study of double-diffusive convection has received considerable attention during the last several decades since this occurs in a wide range of natural settings. The origins of these studies can be traced to oceanography when hot salty water lies over cold fresh water of a higher density resulting in double-diffusive instabilities known as “salt-fingers,” Stern (35; 36). Typical technological...

Brinkmann extended Darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. Smaller and...
متن کاملSoret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Heat and Mass Transfer Flow past a Horizontal Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Viscosity
The heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a horizontal surface embedded in a saturated porous medium subject to variable viscosity are numerically analyzed, by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into nonlinear ordinary diffe...
