In this paper, mixed convection flow of couple stress fluid in circular annulus is studied. First order chemical reaction, Soret and Dufour effects are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations and solved by Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effects of Soret number, Dufour number, chemical reaction p...

Here, we consider magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible, time independent fluid past elongated cylinder surrounded in a non-Darcian porous regime with magnetic flux supplied at acute angle. The Soret/Dufour effects and the higher order chemical reactions are also included present study. subsequent governing equations resolved using MATLAB-bvp4c method. velocity appears to decrease growt...

The effects of thermo-diffusion (Soret effect) and diffuso-thermal gradients (Dufour effect) on the unsteady incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow with mass transfer past a semi-infinite vertical plate in a Darcian porous medium in the presence of significant thermal radiation, first order homogenous chemical reaction and viscous heating are analyzed. The governing diff...

The study sought to investigate the influence of a magnetic field on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection from vertical surfaces in the presence of Hall, radiation, Soret thermaldiffusion , and Dufour diffusion-thermo effects. The similarity solutions were obtained using suitable transformations. The similarity ordinary differential equations were then solved by MATLAB routine bvp4c. The ...

In this paper we propose bootstrapping Hannan and Rissanen (1982) estimators in stationary invertible VARMA models, with known order (p, q). Although we consider bootstrapping such models under the echelon form parameterization, the results we derive herein remain valid to other alternative identification issues. In particular, we shall exploit the theoretical developments stated in Dufour and ...

In this paper the steady laminar magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection boundary layer flow towards a vertical stretching sheet with variable fluid viscosity, radiation and in the presence of Dufour’s effect have been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, and then these equatio...

The effect of thermophoresis on heat and mass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects over a stretching sheet is investigated in the present analysis. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically using an optimized, extensively validated, variational Finite element method. The influence of key non-dimensional parameters, namely, suction p...

The purpose of present article is to examine the peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid in a curved channel. An electrically conducting fluid in the presence of radial applied magnetic field is considered. Analysis of heat and mass transfer is carried out. More generalized realistic constraints namely the convective conditions are utilized. Soret and Dufour effects are retained. Problems formulation...

Behavioral and electrophysiological tests were performed to evaluate the responses of workers of the ant Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) from different size categories to Dufour gland extracts. Morphometric measures based in head widths across eyes were used to determine worker sizes. Trail following response of different worker sizes to Dufour gland extract from workers of different sizes was ...

The effects of thermal radiation, Soret and Dufour parameters on mixed convection and nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of a magnetic field are investigated. The flow is subject to temperature dependent viscosity and a chemical reaction parameter. It is assumed that the nanoparticle volume fraction at the wall may be actively controlled. The physical problem is modelled usi...
