From the Fukushima accident, Thailand has studied fission product behavior in containment vessel using ART Mod 2 code. Cesium iodide (CsI), cesium hydroxide (CsOH) and iodine (I2) behaviors are studied using modified ART Mod 2 code. However, there are other compounds which are not included in the codes especially cesium and iodine compounds such as from Phébus FPT3 experiment including cesium molybdate (Cs2MoO4), cesium telluride (Cs2Te), methyl iodide (CH3I) and iodine pentoxide (I2O5). The paper objective is to add the four compounds in the codes in order to enlarge the coverage of the code in evaluation fission product behavior in the containment vessel. Physical parameters and models of the four compounds are updated in the codes. It is found that deposition phenomena of Cs2MoO4, Cs2Te CH3I and I2O5 are close to the experiment in case of no chemical reaction.

The present exploration addresses the boundary layer electro-magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow of time-dependant non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid that is electrically conducting past a Riga surface with variable thickness and slip boundary condition. Configuration flow modeling is deduced considering chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption with the impacts of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Also a newly proposed boundary condition with zero mass flux has been presented in the current contribution. Numerical solution of the governing non-linear differential equations is presented by considering the shooting technique. Graphical illustrations pointing out the aspects of distinct physical parameters on the non-Newtonian nanofluid velocity, temperature and concentration fields are introduced. From the computational results, the concentration distribution gives a decreasing function of the chemical reaction and Brownian motion parameters. Higher values of shape parameter yield a negative influence on the mechanical properties of the surface. The Hartmann number leads to maximize both of velocity field and skin friction coefficient. Additionally, numerical computed values of the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are depicted with the needful discussion.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of binary chemical reaction and activation energy on nano Casson liquid flow past a stretched plate with non-linear radiative heat, and also, the effect of a novel exponential space-dependent heat source (ESHS) aspect along with thermal-dependent heat source (THS) effect in the analysis of heat transfer in nanofluid. Comparative analysis is carried out between the flows with linear radiative heat process and non-linear radiative heat process.Design/methodology/approachA similarity transformation technique is utilised to access the ODEs from the governed PDEs. The manipulation of subsequent non-linear equations is carried out by a well-known numerical approach called Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme. Obtained solutions are briefly discussed with the help of graphical and tabular illustrations.FindingsThe effects of various physical parameters on temperature, nanoparticles volume fraction and velocity fields within the boundary layer are discussed for two different flow situations, namely, flow with linear radiative heat and flow with non-linear radiative heat. It is found that an irregular heat source/sink (ESHS and THS) and non-linear solar radiation play a vital role in the enhancement of the temperature distributions.Originality/valueThe problem is relatively original to study the effects of activation energy and binary chemical reaction along with a novel exponential space-based heat source on laminar boundary flow past a stretched plate in the presence of non-linear Rosseland radiative heat.

A one-dimensional advective-dispersive contaminant transport model with scale-dependent dispersion coefficient in the presence of a nonlinear chemical reaction of arbitrary order is considered. Two types of variations of the dispersion coefficient with the downstream distance are considered. The first type assumes that the dispersivity increases as a polynomial function with distance while the other assumes an exponentiallyincreasing function. Since the general problem is nonlinear and possesses no analytical solutions, a numerical solution based on an efficient implicit iterative tri-diagonal finitedifference method is obtained. Comparisons with previously published analytical and numerical solutions for special cases of the main transport equation are performed and found to be in excellent agreement. A parametric study of all physical parameters is conducted and the results are presented graphically to illustrate interesting features of the solutions. It is found that the chemical reaction order and rate coefficient have significant effects on the contaminant concentration profiles. Furthermore, the scale-dependent polynomial type dispersion coefficient is predicted to obtain significant changes in the contaminant concentration at all dimensionless time stages compared with the constant dispersion case. However, relatively smaller changes in the concentration level are predicted for the exponentially-increasing dispersion coefficient.

This work is focused on the numerical solution of unsteady double-diffusive free convective flow along a vertical isothermal cylinder in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, first-order homogeneous chemical reaction, thermal radiation and Soret and Dufour effects. The Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The governing equations are formulated and a numerical solution is obtained by using an explicit finite-difference scheme. The solutions at each time step have been found to reach the steady state solution properly. Representative results for the fluid velocity, temperature and solute concentration profiles as well as the local heat and mass transfer rates for various values of the physical parameters are displayed in both graphical and tabular forms.

In this study, heat and mass transfer characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow over a radiating nonlinear permeable stretching surface are studied. The flow considered here is under both the hydrodynamic and thermal slip conditions in presence of first-order chemical reaction. The resulting governing equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying a suitable similarity transformation and then solved numerically. A parametric study, of the physical parameters, is conducted and a representative set of numerical results for the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are tabulated. Graphical results for dimensionless temperature, velocity and concentration are presented and discussed in details from the physical point of view.

Mhd Boundary Layer Flow

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow past a wedge with the influence of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction has been analyzed in the present study. This model used for the momentum, temperature and concentration fields. The principal governing equations is based on the velocity  in a nanofluid and with a parallel free stream velocity and surface temperature and concentration. The governing nonlinear boundary layer equations for momentum, thermal energy and concentration are transformed to a system of nonlinear ordinary coupled differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation with fitting boundary conditions. The transmuted model is shown to be controlled by a number of thermo-physical parameters, viz. the magnetic parameter, buoyancy parameter, radiation conduction parameter, heat generation parameter, Porosity parameter, Dufour number, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reaction parameter and pressure gradient parameter. Numerical elucidations are obtained with the legendary Nactsheim-Swigert shooting technique together with RungeKutta six order iteration schemes.
