Measurements of species concentrations and temperature are performed in the boundary layer of an atmospheric DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. Broadband ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy is employed to measure absolute number density of C2 and CH radicals. Stark broadening of Hβ emission is utilized to determine the electron number density inside the boundary layer. T...

This article examines the impact of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux in flows of viscoelastic fluids. Flow is generated by a linear stretching sheet. Influence of thermal relaxation time in the considered heat flux is seen. Mathematical formulation is presented for the boundary layer approach. Suitable transformations lead to a nonlinear differential system. Convergent series solutions of velocity a...

ProFlex calculates a hydrogen-bond dilution profile (1). To calculate the profile, the protein’s hydrogen bonds are broken one by one, from weakest to strongest (according to the potential energy formula described below), and the constraint counting algorithm is run after each bond is broken. This simulates incremental thermal denaturation of the structure, as the calculated temperature rises a...

Irreversible thermodynamics provides interface conditions that yield temperature and chemical potential jumps at phase boundaries. The interfacial jumps allow unexpected transport phenomena, such as the inverted temperature profile [Pao, Phys. Fluids 14, 306 (1971)] and mass transfer from a cold to a warm liquid driven by a temperature difference across the vapor phase [Mills and Phillips, Chem...

The motion of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity of steady incompressible laminar free convective (MHD) non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a thermally stratified medium are investigated. It is assumed that natural convection is induced by buoyancy and exponentially decaying internal heat generation across the space. The dim...
