Consequences of Soret–Dufour Effects, Thermal Radiation, and Binary Chemical Reaction on Darcy Forchheimer Flow of Nanofluids

Abstract

This research article aims to investigate the consequences of binary chemical reaction, thermal radiation, and Soret–Dufour effects on a steady incompressible Darcy–Forchheimer flow of nanofluids. Stretching surface is assumed to drive the fluid along positive horizontal direction. Brownian motion, and the Thermophoresis are accounted in particular. The governing highly nonlinear system of problems which are advanced version of Navier–Stokes equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriately adjusted transformations invoking symmetric property of the independent variables. The numerical approach using RK45 in connection with shooting technique is adopted to solve the final equations. Graphical approach is used to interpret the results and the values of important physical quantities are given in tabular data form. Velocity field, temperature distribution and concentration distribution are graphically analyzed for variation in respective fluid parameters. Furthermore, density graphs and stream lines are sketched for the present model. The outputs indicate a rise of temperature field in connection with thermal radiation parameter. A clear decline is noticed in velocity field for elevated values of Forchheimer number and porosity factor. The Dufour effect anticipates a rising factor for temperature distribution and the same is noticed for concentration distribution in lieu of Soret effect. Thermal radiation and binary chemical reaction has strong impact on heat transport mechanism. The results for physical quantities such as skin friction, heat and mass flux rates are given in tabular data form in last section of this study.

Impact of pseudoplaticity and dilatancy of fluid on peristaltic flow and heat transfer: Reiner-Philippoff fluid model

“…From Figure 3 it is observed that the velocity of pseudoplastic fluid increases with an increase in shear stress parameter g. Figure 4 depicts that the velocity of dilatants fluid decreases with an increase in shear stress parameter g and an opposite behavior is observed in close vicinity of upper wall. Equation (26) shows that the shear stress t xy is a linear function of independent variable y of the form A 1 y + B 1 . In Figures 5 and 6 it is shown that the arbitrariness of the coefficient A 1 and constant B 1 do not have significant effect on the final results.…”

Rasool and Zhang 24 and Rasool et al 25,26 investigated the heat and mass flux, entropy generation, MHD, thermal radiatin, binary chemical reaction and Soret-Dufour effects on Darcy-Forchheimer flow of nanofluids. Some recent and related studies on non-Newtonian fluids are also documented in articles.…”

Numerical Analysis of Thermal Radiative Maxwell Nanofluid Flow Over-Stretching Porous Rotating Disk

“…Rasool et al [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] numerically simulated the Darcy-Forchheimer effect on MHD nanoliquid flow between stretching non-linear sheets.

Shafiq et al [ 30 ] studied nanofluid flow under the influence of convective boundary conditions and thermal slip over a spinning frame.…”

Numerical solution for Sisko nanofluid flow through stretching surface in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium with thermal radiation

“…The fluid flow through a saturated porous medium utilizing modified Darcy law was examined by Hayat et al 29 The flow problem was modeled by considering the impacts of Joule heating, Hall, radiative heat flux, slip mechanism, and zero mass flux condition. In view of the applications of fluid flowing through a porous medium, some of the recent literature on this topic can be found in References [30][31][32][33].…”
