Dufour and Soret effects on double diffusive Casson fluid flow with the influence of internal heat source

Abstract

AbstractThis study focuses on the control of the cross-diffusion effects on the thermosolutal Casson fluid stream with an internal heat source. These effects have practical applications in geothermal energy extraction, cooling of electronic devices, petroleum engineering, and polymer processing. With the help of similarity transformations, the governing equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The highly nonlinear differential equations are solved with the help of Bernoulli wavelet numerical scheme, and the outputs are compared with previous literature to validate the findings. The study investigates the forces of various physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration of the fluid and presents the outcomes in graphical form. In addition, the study provides information on skin friction, heat and mass transfers in tabular format. Overall, the research contributes to a better understanding of the behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids under different thermal and concentration gradients and has practical implications in various industrial processes. Our findings demonstrate the remarkable effectiveness and accessibility of the Bernoulli wavelet method in solving coupled nonlinear ODEs of this nature. The results exhibit outstanding agreement, particularly in engineering applications involving coupled nonlinear ODEs.
