This work studies the double-diffusive free convection over arbitrarily inclined plates in fluid saturated porous media with nonuniform surface temperature and concentration. The governing equations are transformed into a set of nonsimilar differential equations, and the obtained boundary layer equations are then solved by the cubic spline collocation method. The heat and mass transfer characteristics are presented as functions of surface temperature exponent, surface concentration exponent, inclination variable, Lewis number, and buoyancy ratio. Results show that an increase in the Lewis number leads to a decrease in the local Nusselt number and an increase in the local Sherwood number. Moreover, increasing the buoyancy ratio tends to increase both the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number. For the positive inclination, as the inclination variable increases, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number first decrease, reach minima, and then increase. The minima are where the tangential and normal components of buoyancy force are comparable. |
