Diffusion analysis of three kinds of species with two salts in two working fluids using Darcy's law using solar radiations
Abstract
This specific research was carried out with the aim of investigating incompressible Casson fluid and Williamson liquid. Steady-state laminar boundary layer flow involving Brownian diffusion and thermophoretic diffusion is taken over a horizontal penetrating plate saturated with two distinct salts having distinct characteristics. Casson fluid motion was observed with the utilization of Darcy-Forchheimer technique. Whilst, Nanofluid motion and other salts motion induced by wall movement. Solar thermal collectors, Solar thermal systems, Solar cookers, Solar thermal energy, drying, generating electricity, chemical reactions, soil vapor extraction, medication and heat exchange medium. Physical quantities like density, temperature profile and concentration profile were addressed by aiding Bossiness approximation. Whereas the optimization of energy is carried out under the effects of cross-diffusion, regular diffusion and non-Fourier law for two different salt components. Formulation of acquired flow equations in terms of partial differential equations are further transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The numerical solution will be obtained by utilization of FE-method. It was found that the temperature field elevates on increasing solar thermal radiation number, modified Dufour numbers of salt 1 and salt 2. Thickness and width regarding momentum layers for Casson liquid rather than Williamson liquid while temperature field for Williamson liquid is higher than Casson liquid.
