A theoretical study has been developed to investigate the influence of thermophoresis and couple stresses on the steady flow of non-Newtonian fluid with free convective heat and mass transfer over a channel bounded by two permeable plates. The considered non-Newtonian fluid follows a viscoelastic model. The problem is modulated mathematically by a system of non-linear differential equations pertaining to describe the continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration. These equations involve the effects of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The numerical solutions of the dimensionless equations are found as a function of the physical parameters of this problem. The numerical formulas of the velocity (u), temperature Φ and concentration Θ as well as skin friction coefficient T*, Nusselt number(Nu) and Sherwood number(Sh) are computed. The physical parameter's effects of the problem on these formulas are described and illustrated graphically through some figures and tables. It is observed that any increase in the thermophoretic parameter T leads to reduce in velocity profiles as well as concentration layers. In contrast, the velocity increases with increasing the couple stresses inverse parameter.

In this study, we investigated the 2D MHD flow of a dissipative Maxwell nanofluid past an elongated sheet with uneven heat source/sink, Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects. The flow governing PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ODEs adopting the suitable similarity transmissions. Further, the RK-4 technique is employed to acquire the numerical solutions. The impact of pertinent parameters such as thermal radiation, frictional heating, irregular heat source/sink, biot number, Brownian moment and thermophoresis on the flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields likewise friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are bestowed with the succour of graphs and tables. Dual nature is witnessed for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is noticed that the heat and mass transfer rate in Newtonian fluid larger as compared with non-Newtonian fluid.

This paper is devoted to the study of the peristaltic motion of non-Newtonian fluid with heat and mass transfer through a porous medium in the channel under the effect of magnetic field. A modified Casson non-Newtonian constitutive model is employed for the transport fluid. A perturbation series’ method of solution of the stream function is discussed. The effects of various parameters of interest such as the magnetic parameter, Casson parameter, and permeability parameter on the velocity, pressure rise, temperature, and concentration are discussed and illustrated graphically through a set of figures.

Gas hydrates are crystalline solids that consist of gas molecules, usually methane, surrounded by water molecules. According to the phase equilibrium characteristics of gas hydrate, there are three basic development methods, including heating, pressure decreasing and chemical injecting. The development process is actually the multi-phase flow process. Currently, there is no good commercial software used to simulate the multiphase flow, heat transmission and mass transfer in the gas hydrate decomposition process. The study is not mature, still in the development and trial stage. So in this paper, we will make a deeply study on the multi-phase flow simulation method of gas hydrate decomposition in the sediment. We try to make breakthrough in the theory and simulate method. According to the different scales, the simulation computation study of flow characteristics model has microcosmic, mesocosmic and macrocosmic scales. In this paper, mesocosmic scales is used to study for the multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer in the offshore gas hydrate decomposition process, and numerical simulation and experimental simulation are together used to study. Study advancements are shown as follows: firstly, conventional Lattice Boltzmann model is modified to new Lattice Boltzmann Model (LBM) based on sediment with gas hydrate and flow characteristics for gas hydrate decomposition, the interaction and density difference between the phases are considered, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) visual technology is used to successfully verified to LBM methods. Secondly, contraction core reaction methods based on fractal theory is used to simulate heat and mass transfer in the offshore gas hydrate decomposition process and is successfully verified by experimental simulation for South China Sea offshore gas hydrate sediment.

In this paper, we investigate the influence of melting on mixed convection heat and mass transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian fluid-saturated non-Darcy porous medium including the prominent Soret effect. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration such that the heat and mass transfer occurs from the wall to the medium. The Ostwald–de Waele power law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. A similarity solution for the transformed governing equations is obtained. The numerical computation is carried out for various values of the nondimensional physical parameters. The variation of temperature, concentration, and heat and mass transfer coefficients with the power law index, mixed convection parameter, inertia parameter, melting parameter, Soret number, buoyancy ratio, and Lewis number is discussed for a wide range of values of these parameters.
