Thermosoluted Marangoni convective flow towards a permeable Riga surface

Abstract

This study reveals the characteristics of chemical reaction on Marangoni mixed convective stream towards a penetrable Riga surface. The heat and mass phenomena are analysed within the sight of Dufour and Soret impacts. The administering partial differential equations system is converted into three nonlinear ordinary differential equations utilizing appropriately adjusted transformations. The resultant system of highly nonlinear equations is analytically solved by invoking the homotopy analysis method. Thereafter, the convergence of series solutions is discussed. The impact of appropriate parameters on various flow fields is thoroughly explained with the help of graphs and tables. The wall drag coefficient and relevant flux rates are arranged and discussed for dimensionless parameters. The outcomes show that the stronger Dufour effect of liquid causes a notable incremental variation in heat and mass flux, whereas an opposite trend is noted in the heat flux rate for the Soret effect. However, the mass flux is still found increasing for the stronger Soret effect.
