By matching boundary layer hydrodynamics with slippage to the force-free flow at larger distances, we obtain the thermophoretic mobility of charged particles as a function of the Navier slip length b. A moderate value of b augments Ruckenstein's result by a term 2b/λ, where λ is the Debye length. If b exceeds the particle size a, the enhancement coefficient a/λ is independent of b but proportio...

The particle collection effi ciency of a prototype environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) sampler based on the use of thermophoresis is determined by optimizing the operational voltage that determines its thermal gradient. This sampler’s heating element was made of three sets of thermophoretic (TP) wires 25μm in diameter suspended across a channel cut in a printed circuit board and mounted with coll...

Present communication addresses MHD radiative nanomaterial flow of Ree-Eying fluid between two coaxially rotating disks. Both disks are stretchable. Buongiorno model is used for nanofluids. Nanofluid aspects comprise random motion particles (Brownian diffusion) and thermophoresis. The considered. Furthermore, dissipation, heat flux Ohmic heating effects considered to the energy equation. Total ...
