FLOW OF AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING NANOFLUID OVER A SEMI-INFINITE VERTICAL POROUS PLATE WITH SORET-DUFOUR EFFECTS

Abstract

 The mathematical model of electrically conducting Nanofluid flow over a semi-infinite vertical porous plate with Soret-Dufour effects is considered. The partial differential equations were nondimensionalized via non-dimensional quantities and solved numerically using spectral relaxation method. Numerical computations of all flow parameters and physical quantities of engineering interest are presented in graphs and tables. The result shows that both Soret and Dufour parameter increases the velocity profile. The solutal boundary layer decreases because of the destructive chemical reaction
