Double Diffusive Flow in a Porous Medium Embedded with Vertical Annulus with Power Law Heating

Abstract

The present paper deals with the evaluation of double diffusive flow in a porous medium fixed with vertical wall. The boundary conditions are such that the vertical plate is heated with power law coefficient and far away medium is maintained at lower temperature Tc. The vertical plate is maintained at higher concentration Cw and far away medium is subjected to low concentration Cc. The study is carried out to know the heat and mass transfer behavior inside the porous region due to power law heating. The heat and mass transfer behavior is explored with respect to various parameters such as Lewis number, buoyancy ratio, Rayleigh number etc.
