• COMBINED INFLUENCE OF SORET AND DUFOUR EFFECTS ON NON-DARCY MIXED CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER FLOW OF A CHEMICALLY REACTING VISCOUS FLUID IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL WITH THERMAL RADIATION AND HEAT SOURCES WITH CONSTANT HEAT AND MASS FLUX

Abstract

In this paper we analyse the combined influence of soret and dufour effects on non-Darcy convective heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, chemically reacting fluid in a vertical channel with heat sources. By using finite element technique the governing equations have been solved with quadratic approximation functions. The effect of various governing parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration and rate of heat and mass transfer has been discussed through graphical representations.
