In this paper the steady laminar magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection boundary layer flow towards a vertical stretching sheet with variable fluid viscosity, radiation and in the presence of Dufour’s effect have been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, and then these equatio...

The phenomenon of convective flow with heat and mass transfer has been studied extensively due to its applications in various fields. effects nonlinear thermal radiation (NLTR), slip, thermal-diffusion (Soret) diffusion-thermo (Dufour) on magenoto-hydrodynamic (MHD) towards a stretching cylinder the presence triple stratification (TSF) are investigated this paper. governing equations transforme...

In this paper, mixed convection flow of couple stress fluid in circular annulus is studied. First order chemical reaction, Soret and Dufour effects are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations and solved by Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effects of Soret number, Dufour number, chemical reaction p...

Gas clouds under the influence of gravitation in thermodynamic equilibrium cannot be isothermal due to the Dufour effect, the energy flux induced by density gradients. In galaxy clusters this effect may be responsible for most of the ”cooling flows” instead of radiative cooling of the gas. Observations from XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites agree well with model calculations, assuming equilibri...

Minor workers of the ant Zacryptocerus pusillus have unusual exocrine secretions in both their mandibular and Dufour glands. The mandibular glands contain a 3:1 mixture of 4-heptanone and 4-heptanol, a mixture found only in the related species Z. varians. The Dufour gland contains a mixture of 13 aldehydes from C9 to C18, not previously encountered in ant secretions. The venom glands gave varia...

In the present approach, a two-dimensional steady MHD free convection flow and mass transfer over a stretching sheet has been analyzed numerically including the Dufour and Soret effects with a magnetic field. The governing differential equations of the problem have been transformed into a system of non-dimensional differential equations, which are then solved numerically using a sixth-order Run...

The effects of thermo-diffusion (Soret effect) and diffuso-thermal gradients (Dufour effect) on the unsteady incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow with mass transfer past a semi-infinite vertical plate in a Darcian porous medium in the presence of significant thermal radiation, first order homogenous chemical reaction and viscous heating are analyzed. The governing diff...

The thermal diffusion factor, aT, for a binary gas mixture is calculated on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. A new formula for aT is derived and this factor is given for several paris of gases according to this formula.
