This investigates the fluid flow, as well as the heat and mass transfer
phenomena occurring within a vertical channel housing two immiscible
fluids. It focuses particularly on slip effects, encompassing no slip,
velocity slip, thermal slip, and multiple slips, each being applied with
appropriate boundary conditions. The analysis thoroughly examines
crucial characteristics such as variations in thermal conductivity and
viscosity. By employing a sixth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method
implemented via Mathematica, the study achieves precise solutions for
complex scenarios. The extensive findings elucidate the intricate
interactions among different slip mechanisms and relevant parameters,
providing valuable insights for both theoretical comprehension and
practical application in engineering contexts. Furthermore, this
research offers significant insights into the dynamics of fluid flow,
heat, and mass transfer under various slip effects. Noticeable
variations in these slip effects are observed and visually represented.
Engineering parameters such as Nusselt number, shear stress, and
Sherwood number are meticulously calculated and analyzed using bar
charts, offering insights into their impact and behavior.Submitted to Heat Transfer 16 May 2024Reviewer(s) Assigned
