SRINIVASACHARYA, D.  and  KALADHAR, K.. Soret and dufour effects in a mixed convection couple stress fluid with heat and mass fluxes. Lat. Am. appl. res. [online]. 2011, vol.41, n.4, pp.353-358. ISSN 0327-0793.

An analysis is presented to investigate the Soret and Dufour effects on the mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a couple stress fluid with flux distributions. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically. Profiles of dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically for various values of Dufour number, Soret number and Couple stress parameter.

Keywords : Mixed convection; Couple stress fluid; Soret and Dufour effect; Heat and mass transfer.
