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...

This article looks at the Soret and Dufour effects on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow of variable viscosity fluid in a symmetric channel. Analysis is presented in the presence of Ohmic heating. Results for the stream function, temperature and concentration are constructed. The variations of sundry parameters are analyzed.

We set up a discrete space-time dynamical model of molecules with thermalised kinetic energy and repulsive cores, in an external potential. The model obeys the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The continuum limit, obtained using a MAPLE program, gives rise to coupled reaction-diffusion equations for the density and temperature fields. The system obeys Onsager symmetry and exhibits the S...

In this paper, the unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) free convection flow of an incompressible and electrically conduction fluid over a stretching surface under the influence of Soret and Dufour effects with thermophresis has been investigated. The governing equations are solved numerically by using implicit finitedifference scheme. The results of skin friction, the Nusselt number and the She...

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 t...

The diffusive motion of foreign particles dispersed in a premelting solid is analyzed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. We determine the mass diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient and Soret coefficient of the particles in the dilute limit, and find good agreement with experimental data. In contrast to liquid suspensions, the unique nature of premelting solids a...

The effect of thermophoresis on heat and mass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects over a stretching sheet is investigated in the present analysis. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically using an optimized, extensively validated, variational Finite element method. The influence of key non-dimensional parameters, namely, suction p...
