- Description
- The present article reports an analytical study of the double diffusive natural convection (DDNC) in cylindrical porous annuli (CPA) and rectangular porous enclosures (RPE), which are handled in a unified way using the curvature parameter, saturated by a binary liquid under the assumption of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) state. The buoyancy forces (thermal and solutal) driving the flow are assumed to be induced by the maintenance of constant and uniform heat and mass fluxes applied along the vertical (radial) walls and insulation of both horizontal walls of the annuli/rectangular enclosures. The Darcy-Boussinesq equations with LTNE assumption between the fluid and solid phases are employed to model the problem of DDNC in a binary liquid-saturated porous medium with cross-diffusion effects. The analytical results are obtained by employing the Oseen-linearization transformation technique in the study. The influence of various dimensionless parameters on heat and mass transports of the system are depicted using the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and isotherms plots, and the obtained results are analysed with the physical explanation. Special attention is given to understand the effect of LTNE parameter and cross-diffusion parameters on heat and mass transports of the system. Different aspect ratio values are chosen to obtain the results of three types of CPA/RPE (shallow, square and tall). Among these CPA/RPE, maximum and minimum heat and mass transports are achieved in the cases of shallow and tall CPA/RPE, respectively. The results of the pure thermal convection problem is obtained at the zero value of buoyancy ratio and solute Rayleigh number. The increasing value of N magnifies the heat and mass transports in the system due to the augmented buoyancy effect resulted from the thermal and solutal gradients. The increase of solid inner cylinder radius, by fixing its volume, makes the annulus slender which yields to decrease the heat and mass transports in the system. The effects of LTNE parameter and cross-diffusion parameters on heat and mass transports of the system are clearly brought out. The results of LTE model are obtained at the infinite value of ratio of porosity modified thermal conductivities, ?, as a particular case of the present model. From the study, we conclude that the shallow porous annulus and tall rectangular enclosure are best suited in the design of heat removal and heat storage systems, respectively. 2021
