Abstract
AbstractThe Soret and Dufour effects on mixed convection flow and heat and mass transfers from an exponentially stretching surface in a quiescent fluid–saturated non–Darcy porous medium is studied. Stretching velocity, wall temperature, and wall concentration are assumed to have specific exponential function forms. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller–box method. The present results are found to be in excellent agreement with previously published work on various special cases of the problem. The influence of buoyancy, Soret and Dufour numbers, and Darcy and non–Darcy parameters on the convective transport in the boundary layer region is analyzed. Also, the numerical values of the skin friction, heat, and mass transfer coefficients for different values of governing parameters are also tabulated. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
