Abstract
Abstract This study performed a numerical investigation of the Soret and Dufour effects on unsteady free convective chemically reacting nanofluid flowing past a vertically moving porous plate in the presence of viscous dissipation and a heat source/sink. The equations directing the flow are non-dimensionalised, modified to ordinary differential equations and emerging equations are resolved computationally by using the bvp4c function in MATLAB software. The results obtained from this analysis indicate that the resulting velocity of the nanofluid increases with increasing Grashof number, mass Grashof number and porosity parameter. An increase in the Dufour number increases the fluid temperature, whereas the concentration profile declines with the increase in the Schmidt number. It is also observed that the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase with increasing magnetic field parameter, Eckert number and Schmidt number, respectively. The present study reveals the impact of Soret and Dufour effects on heat and mass transfer rates in chemically reacting and viscous dissipating nanofluids.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
