The objective of this paper is to investigate analytically the convective flow of heat and mass transfer in vertical wavy channels due to travelling thermal waves. Effect of radiation, temperature dependent heat source/sink, concentration dependent mass source are taken into account. To tackle the highly complex non-linear problem, the perturbation technique is applied with long wave approximation.

An analysis is carried out to study the effect of heat and mass transfer on a non-Newtonian-fluid between two infinite parallel walls, one of them moving with a uniform velocity under the action of a transverse magnetic field. The moving wall moves with constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow while the free stream velocity is assumed to follow the exponentially increasing small perturbation law. Time-dependent wall suction is assumed to occur at permeable surface. The governing equations for the flow are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by perturbation technique and are solved numerically by using the shooting technique with fourth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effect of non-Newtonian parameter, magnetic pressure parameter, Schmidt number, Grashof number and modified Grashof number on velocity, temperature, concentration and the induced magnetic field are discussed. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the considered Problem.

An imposed time-periodic gravity field effect on double-diffusive magneto-convection for oscillatory mode has been investigated. The gravity field consisting of steady and periodic modes. A layer is confined with an electrically conducting fluid with Boussines q approximation and heated from below cooled from above. While using the perturbation technique we study nonlinear double-diffusive convection just above the critical state of the onset convection. The growth rate of the disturbances is confined with a critical Rayleigh number to investigate oscillatory convection. Analysis of finite- amplitude convection has been derived through the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). The convective heat and mass transfer obtained through CGLE at third-order under solvability conditions. This convective amplitude is required to estimate heat and mass transfer in terms of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. It is found that increasing the frequency of modulation causes diminishing heat and mass transfer. The effect of Prandtl number Pr, magnetic Prandtl number Pm, and amplitude δ enhances heat/mass transfer. It is found that an oscillatory mode of convection enhances the heat and mass transfer than the stationary mode. Further, streamlines, isotherms, and isohalines have their usual nature on double-diffusive magnetoconvection.

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.

Based on non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory and combined with the conservation laws, a comprehensive theoretical model was established to describe heat and mass transfer during convective drying process, and numerical calculation was performed. The results show that: (a) the external convective heat and mass transfer may be treated as the conductive heat transfer with internal heat source and the molecular mass diffusion with internal mass source, respectively, and the ability of heat and mass transfer mainly depends on the strength of the heat source and mass source; the higher the temperature of the drying media, the lower the strength of the internal heat source, but the higher that of the internal mass sources; (b) the evaporation of internal water takes place inside the whole material, and the molecular mass diffusion of the internal vapor is in the direction of decreasing mass transfer potential, not along the decreasing partial pressure of vapor.

An investigation of unsteady MHD free convective flow and mass transfer during the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium, bounded by an infinite vertical porous surface, in a rotating system is presented. The porous plane surface and the porous medium are assumed to rotate in a solid body rotation. The vertical surface is subjected to uniform constant suction perpendicular to it and the temperature at this surface fluctuates in time about a non-zero constant mean. Analytical expressions for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are obtained using the perturbation technique. The effects of R (rotation parameter), k0 (permeability parameter), M (Hartmann number) and w (frequency parameter) on the flow characteristics are discussed. It is observed that the primary velocity component decreases with the increase in either of the rotation parameter R, the permeability parameter k0, or the Hartmann number M. It is also noted that the primary skin friction increases whenever there is an increase in the Grashof number Gr or the modified Grashof number Gm. It is clear that the heat transfer coefficient in terms of the Nusselt number decreases in the case of both air and water when there is an increase in the Hartmann number M. It is observed that the magnitude of the secondary velocity profiles increases whenever there is an increase in either of the Grashof number or the modified Grashof number for mass transfer or the permeability of the porous media. Concentration profiles decreases with an increase in the Schmidt number.
