This paper presents the nonsimilarity solutions for mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a doubly stratified fluid saturated porous medium in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. The flow in the porous medium is described by employing the Darcy-Forchheimer based model. The nonlinear governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are initially cast into dimensionless forms and then solved numerically. The influence of pertinent parameters on dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration, heat, and mass transfer in terms of the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers is discussed and presented graphically.

Laminar Mixed Convection

In this paper, the Soret and Dufour effects on the steady, laminar mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium saturated with micropolar fluid are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The local similarity solutions of the transformed dimensionless equations for the flow, microrotation, heat and mass transfer characteristics are evaluated using Keller-box method. Numerical results are presented in the form of velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer for different parameters entering into the analysis. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local skin friction coefficient and rates of heat and mass transfer in terms of the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also discussed.

Soret And Dufour Effects

Mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium with Soret and Dufour effects is studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of Soret and Dufour parameters, power law index and mixed convection parameter on non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed. The variation of different parameters on heat and mass transfer rates is presented in tabular form.
