title: Influence of viscous dissipation and thermophoresis on Darcy-Forchheimer mixed convection in a fluid saturated porous media.
abstract: Mixed convection flow, heat, and mass transfer about an isothermal vertical flat plate embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium and the effects of viscous dissipation and thermophoresis in both aiding and opposing flows are analyzed. The similarity solution is used to transform the problem under consideration into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by using the shooting method. Numerical computations are carried out for the non-dimensional physical parameter. The results are analyzed for the effect of different physical parameters such as thermophoretic, mixed convection, inertia parameter, buoyancy ratio, and Schmid number on the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics. Two cases are considered, one corresponding to the presence of viscous dissipation and the other to the absence of it.
