Cattaneo-Christov model for triple diffusive natural convection flows over horizontal plate with entropy analysis embedded in porous regime

摘要

This research interprets the features of triple diffusion in naturally convected viscous material flow through a horizontal plate embedded in a porous regime. The heat and mass transmission process is evaluated by the implication of Cattaneo and Christov (CC) models of energy and mass diffusions. Entropy analysis is executed with the help of the second law of thermodynamics. The homogeneous and local thermal equilibrium is assumed for porous medium. The physically modeled expressions are reframed into an ordinary differential system. This re-structured system of expressions is computed numerically by the implication of the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The computed solutions are visualized graphically and in numeric forms. The validation of present solutions is reported by the comparative benchmark with already available results in a limiting sense. It is evident that the opposing and assisting flows show higher entropy generation at the convective wall. An increment in surface entropy generation rate is achieved for higher thermal and solutal relaxation times.
