Soret and Dufour Effects on MHD Radiative Heat and Mass Transfer Flow of a Jeffrey Fluid Over a Stretching Sheet

Abstract

This paper studies the combined effects of Soret (thermal-diffusion) and Dufour (diffusion-thermo) on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Jeffrey fluid past a stretching surface with chemical reaction and heat source. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations are transformed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODE's). The resulting equations are then solved numerically by using the shooting method along with Runge-Kutta fourth order integration scheme. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are discussed in detail and displayed graphically for various physical parameters. The results indicate that the influence of Soret and Dufour numbers are significantly active in the study of nonNewtonian fluid flows. The accuracy of the numerical method is tested by comparing with previously published work as a limiting case (for viscous flow) and the results are found to be in excellent agreement.

Numerical investigation of heat transfer in the presences of thermo‐cross diffusion gradients on flow over a curved geometry

“…with stenosis was numerically solved by Abdullah and Amin [8] using the central differential approach method. The fluid laminar flow of MHD is therefore also found in practice, especially where the induced magnetic area is negligible and a high rate of transfer is desirable; thus, numerous inquiries were conducted [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Transport of MHD nanofluid in a stratified medium containing gyrotactic microorganisms due to a stretching sheet

“…Jeffrey fluid is a rate typesfluid which manifests the behavior of the relaxation as well as the retardationstime. Some contributions in this area are made by Saif et al [20], Narayana et al [21], Jena et al [22], Sreelakshmi et al [23]and Ahmad et al [24].…”
