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...

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...

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...

Here, we consider magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible, time independent fluid past elongated cylinder surrounded in a non-Darcian porous regime with magnetic flux supplied at acute angle. The Soret/Dufour effects and the higher order chemical reactions are also included present study. subsequent governing equations resolved using MATLAB-bvp4c method. velocity appears to decrease growt...

Behavioral and electrophysiological tests were performed to evaluate the responses of workers of the ant Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) from different size categories to Dufour gland extracts. Morphometric measures based in head widths across eyes were used to determine worker sizes. Trail following response of different worker sizes to Dufour gland extract from workers of different sizes was ...

This study examines the numerical solutions of an unsteady natural convection Couette flow a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two vertical parallel plates in presence thermal radiation, Soret Dufour. The fundamental dimensionless governing partial differential equations for impulsive movement plate are solved by method lines (MOL). simulations effects Dufour on ...

The Soret and Dufour effects on the steady, laminar mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a micropolar fluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass flux conditions are investigated. The non-linear governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are initially cast into dimensionless forms using similarity transformatio...

The study sought to investigate the influence of a magnetic field on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection from vertical surfaces in the presence of Hall, radiation, Soret thermaldiffusion , and Dufour diffusion-thermo effects. The similarity solutions were obtained using suitable transformations. The similarity ordinary differential equations were then solved by MATLAB routine bvp4c. The ...

The venom apparatus of four hymenopterous parasitoids, including two bethylids, C. tarsalis (Ashmead) and C. waterstoni (Gahan), and two pteromalids, A. calandrae (Howard) and P. cerealellae (Ashmead), were removed and the associated Dufour glands characterized with respect to their external morphology and chemistry. Dufour glands in all four species have a characteristic translucent appearance...

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...
