The governing boundary layer equations and boundary conditions are cast into a dimen- sionless form by similarity transformations, and the resulting system of equations is solved by a finite difference method. The results are preSented and discussed for concentration profiles, as well as the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number for various values of the parameters, which govern the problem. The results obtained show that the flow field is influenced appreciably by the presence of the chemical reaction parameter γ the order of.the chemical reaction parameter m, the Soret number St, the buoyancy ratio N, the Lewis number Le, and the dimensionless rheological parameter Ω.展开更多

Through the theory of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, a coupled mathematical model describing the heat and mass transfers in aporous system for the calcination of limestone is formulated. The governing partial differential equations are numerically solved by the implicitly finite volume method through decomposing the equations to a set of coupled differential equations. The results indicate that when the convectional velocity is lower or when the initial temperature of the feeding gas is higher, Soret and Dufour effects can’t be ignored. The distribution figures for the temperature field of the gas in the system, the concentration field of the product gas and the solid conversion ratio are provided.展开更多

A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface. The Rosseland approximation has been used to describe the radiative heat flux in energy equation. The governing equations are solved numerically by applying explicit finite difference Method.

The mathematical analysis is performed in the presence of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and a first-order chemical reaction. With suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations through momentum, energy, and concentration laws are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method （HAM）. The convergence of the series solutions is ensured. The effects of the emerging parameters, the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number, and the Sherwood number are analyzed on the dimensionless velocities, temperature, and concentration fields.展开更多

The channel walls exhibit the convective boundary conditions. In addition, the effects due to Soret and Dufour are taken into consideration. Resulting problems are solved for the series solutions. Numerical values of heat and mass transfer rates are displayed and studied. Results indicate that the concentration and temperature of the fluid increase whereas the mass transfer rate at the wall decreases with increase of the mass transfer Biot number. Furthermore, it is observed that the temperature decreases with the increase of the heat transfer Biot number.展开更多
