Soret and Viscous Dissipation Effects on MHD Flow Along an Inclined Channel: Nonlinear Boussinesq Approximation

摘要

In this study, we investigate the Soret and viscous dissipation effects on the mixed convective flow of an electrically conducting fluid inside an inclined channel. In addition, nonlinear Boussinesq approximation (i.e., nonlinear convection) is taken into account to address thermal and solutal transport phenomena in some thermal and solutal systems, which are performed at high-level temperatures. Initially, the set of governing equations and the related boundary conditions are transformed into dimensionless form under suitable transformations and after that homotopy analysis method is used to obtain semi-analytic solutions of flow equations. The behavior of flow characteristics with pertinent flow parameters is discussed through graphs.
