The flow over a wedge is significant and frequently occurs in civil engineering. It is significant to investigate the heat and mass transport characteristics in the wedge flow. Therefore, the analysis is presented to examine the effects of preeminent parameters by incorporating the cross-diffusion gradients in the energy and mass constitutive relations. From the analysis, it is perceived that the temperature drops against a higher Prandtl number. Due to concentration gradients in the energy equation, the temperature rises slowly. Moreover, it is examined that the mass transfer significantly reduces due to Schmidt effects and more mass transfer is pointed against the Soret number. The shear stresses increase due to stronger magnetic field effects. The local thermal performance of the fluid enhances against more dissipative fluid, and DuFour effects reduced it. Furthermore, the mass transport rate drops due to higher Soret effects and increases against multiple Schmidt number values.

Natural convective heat and mass transfer with Soret effect and Dufour effect is experimental studied in this paper to investigate the diffusion characteristic of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in multi-physical fields. Firstly, Soret effect (thermal diffusion effect) experiment is conducted. The transfer process of isobutane and nitrogen in two close container connected by a small-diameter pipe is experimental studied. The results show that temperature difference between the two containers would conduct a solute concentration difference. Furthermore, multi-component convective diffusion experiment in a closed cavity which simulate indoor environment is developed under temperature gradient, humidity and propane gas concentration gradients. In this experiment, Temperature, humidity and concentration of propane could be surveyed real-time and do not interfere the natural convection in the closed cavity. The experiment results show that that the temperature gradient and the water vapor concentration gradient have effects on the convective diffusion of VOCs indoor environment. The cross diffusion effects would be taken into consideration for the problem of simultaneous heat and mass transfer especially in the presence of large temperature and concentration gradients.

This article explores magnetohydrodynamic stretched flow of viscoelastic nanofluids with heterogeneous–homogeneous reactions. Attention in modeling has been specially focused to constitutive relations of viscoelastic fluids. The heat and mass transport process is explored by thermophoresis and Brownian dispersion. Resulting nonlinear systems are computed for numerical solutions. Findings for temperature, concentration, concentration rate, skin-friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are analyzed for both second grade and elastico-viscous fluids.

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the heat and mass transport over a stretchable surface. The analysis is prolonged to the concept of thermal radiations and chemical reaction over a differentially heated surface with internal heating. This is significant from an engineering and industrial point of view. The nonlinear model is successfully attained by adopting the similarity transforms and then further computation is done via a hybrid Runge–Kutta algorithm coupled with shooting technique. The behavior of fluid velocity and heat and mass transport are then furnished graphically for feasible ranges of parameters. A comprehensive discussion of the results is provided against multiple parameters. Foremost, the local thermal performance and mass transport rate are explained via numerical computation. The major outcomes of the study are described in the end.

ABSTRACTAqueous phase mass transfer through the rocks surrounding a radioactive waste repository will take place by diffusion and convection. This paper presents a comprehensive set of measurements of the mass transfer characteristics for a single, naturally occurring, clay. These data have been compared with the results predicted by mathematical models of mass transport in porous media, in order to build confidence in these models.

Two possible, long standing speculated mechanisms are theoretically investigated in an attempt to understand previous experimental observations of pressure build up in the cavitation zone of a submerged journal bearing. These mechanisms are (1) the shear of the cavity gas bubble by a thin lubricant film dragged through the cavitation zone by the rotating shaft and (2) the mass transfer mechanism which dictates the rate of diffusion of dissolved gas out of and back into the lubricant. A comparison with available experimental results reveals that while the cavitation shape is fairly well predicted by the “shear” mechanism, this mechanism is incapable of generating the level of the experimentally measured pressures, particularly towards the end of the cavitation zone. The “mass transport” mechanism is found inadequate to explain the experimental observations. The effect of this mechanism on the pressure build up in the cavitation zone can be completely ignored.
