Numerical study of heat and mass transfer in MHD flow of nanofluid in a porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects

Abstract

This article models the transport mechanism of mass and heat energy under temperature and concentration gradients. Mathematical models in the form of partial differential equations based on conservation laws for fluid flow and transfer of heat and mass subjected to thermal diffusion and diffusion thermos, heat generation porous medium, and buoyancy forces are developed under boundary layer approximations. These models along with models of nanostructures are solved numerically using the shooting method with the Runge–Kutta method of order five. Convergent solutions are obtained and are used for parametric analysis regarding thermal enhancement of a working fluid having nanoparticles of CuO, Al2O3, and TiO2. Numerical experiments are performed and it is observed that the transport of heat is accelerated when the compositional gradient is increased. Similarly, a significant rise in the transport across concentration is noted when the temperature gradient is increased. The magnetohydrodynamic flow experienced retardation when the porous medium parameter and Hartmann number are increased. The temperature increased when the friction force produced heat and that heat is distributed to the particles of the fluid. Hence, viscous dissipation is responsible for widening the thermal boundary layer region.

The physical impact of blowing, Soret and Dufour over an unsteady stretching surface immersed in a porous medium in the presence of ternary nanofluid

“…Because of their importance in the research of liquids with low and medium molecular weight, these effects are extremely important. Based on the above‐mentioned applications, Qureshi et al 15 investigated the thermal and mass distribution in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanoliquid motion in the presence of S‐D effects. Seid et al 16 examined the multiple slips and S‐D effects in a vertical stretched surface in the occurrence of nanoliquid containing magnetized nanoparticles.…”

Fractional model for MHD flow of Casson fluid with cadmium telluride nanoparticles using the generalized Fourier’s law

“…The Casson fluid behaves like a Newtonian fluid by increasing the values of the Casson parameter 25 . The numerical study of heat transfer and mass concentration of the MHD flow of nanofluid embedded in a porous media was discussed by Qureshi, et al 26 , considering the Soret and Dufour effects. Saqib, et al 27 obtained exact solutions for the MHD flow of nanofluid.…”
