• FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF MIXED CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW IN A CONCENTRIC CYLINDRICAL ANNULUS

Abstract

The mixed convective heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous fluid through a porous medium in cylindrical annulus is considered. The non coupled equations governing the heat and mass transfer are solved by employing a finite element analysis. The effect of various fluid forces on the velocity, temperature, concentration is analyzed. The rate of heat and mass transfer on the inner and outer cylinders are evaluated numerically for different parametric values.
