Thermosolutal Effects in Cylindrical Flow with Suction Velocity

This paper examined the problem of thermosolutal effects in a horizontal cylindrical channel with suction velocity. The fluid flow is assumed to be of constant viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusivity and it is axi-symmetrical. The problem modelled followed the work of Ize et al.[24] by incorporating suction velocity to their work. Following their method of solution, the governing equations were solved. The analytical results were graphically computed using python programming codes and the graphs showed that fluid velocity increases with increase heat sink, thermal Grashof and solutal Grashof numbers. Also, velocity, energy and species profiles increase with increase in suction velocity while thermal conductivity and diffusivity decrease energy and specie profiles respectively.
