Thermophoresis effects on double-diffusive convection and entropy in a wavy enclosure with NEPCM by Sharaban Thohura, Md. Mamun Molla

“…Mass transfer (Sh) exhibits a significant reduction, with a 35.67% decrease in its peak value from kT= 0 to kT= 5, highlighting the dominant effect of thermophoresis in obstructing solute transport. Additionally, reduced Rayleigh and Lewis numbers (Ra and Le) are continuously preferred to maximize system efficiency and decrease entropy production for the present case.The findings highlight the potential of NEPCMs with thermophoretic influence in thermal management applications, particularly in HVAC and energy storage systems.…”
