A comprehensive computational framework based on the finite element method for the simulation of coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical problems in photovoltaic laminates is herein proposed. While the thermo-mechanical problem takes place in the three-dimensional space of the laminate, moisture diffusion occurs in a two-dimensional domain represented by the polymeric layers and by the vertical channel...

The present contribution deals with the thermophoretic deposition of nanoparticles over a rapidly rotating permeable disk in the presence of partial slip, magnetic field, thermal radiation, thermal-diffusion, and diffusion-thermo effects. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations such as continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differen...

Thermo-diffusion effect on free convection heat and mass transfer from a vertical surface embedded in a liquid saturated thermally stratified non Darcy porous medium has been analyzed using a local non-similar procedure. The wall temperature and concentration are constant and the medium is linearly stratified in the vertical direction with respect to the thermal conditions. The fluid flow, temp...

an analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional mhd mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. the parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...

The problem of thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo effects on thermosolutal Marangoni convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid over a permeable surface is investigated. Using appropriate similarity transformations, the governing system of partial differential equation is transformed to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutt...

Abstract In this article, we analyze the entropy analysis in unsteady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous fluid over stretching surface. The energy attribute is scrutinized through dissipation, heat source/sink, and radiation. Furthermore, diffusion-thermo thermo-diffusion behaviors are analyzed. physical description rate discussed second law thermodynamics. Additionally, binary chemical reaction c...
