Full textHighly waxy crude oils can cause significant operational problems such as blockage of a pipeline due to the precipitation and deposition of select wax components during the production and transportation of the crude oil. The cost of wax management is enormous and rapidly increasing because of increased oil production in deep sea areas. Wax management costs can be significantly reduced if wax deposition in pipeline can be accurately predicted. In this research, the wax deposition phenomenon was numerically investigated. The drift flux model was employed to predict the multiphase flow and the wax deposition was determined based on a convective model. This model accurately predicted the deposition rates for lab scale under laminar and turbulent flows. The wax deposition rate presented a good agreement with the results of commercial software OLGA. A comparison with an existing oil production well was performed, and good results were obtained in the impact in pressure drop due to cross section area reduction caused by progressive wax deposition on the pipe wall. The results of this work showed a good physical consistency and a reasonable agreement with the compared experimental and field data.

Full textO consumo de energia à um fator determinante na viabilidade de qualquer processo industrial. A desidrataÃÃo tÃrmica à responsÃvel por um alto consumo de energia tÃrmica. Em paÃses desenvolvidos, o consumo da energia da indÃstria nacional à atribuÃdo, em mÃdia, entre 9-25% a desidrataÃÃo tÃrmica. Assim, o estudo do processo de secagem se mostra bastante promissor. Em produtos biolÃgicos, a secagem tem uma importÃncia especÃfica, a conservaÃÃo do produto, pois a matÃria orgÃnica do produto e a Ãgua presente nele torna este um local propÃcio para a proliferaÃÃo de micro-organismos que irÃo deteriorar o produto, tornando-o inapropriado para consumo. Neste trabalho, realizou-se a modelagem e simulaÃÃo do processo de secagem convectiva utilizando modelo diferencial difusivo-convectivo resolvido pelo mÃtodo numÃrico dos volumes finitos para predizer o comportamento do conteÃdo de umidade mÃdio durante a secagem de cubos, definir os coeficientes de transferÃncia de massa molecular e convectivo e encontrar os perfis do conteÃdo de umidade no interior do sÃlido. Para avaliar a influÃncia das resistÃncias interna e externa, o nÃmero de Biot de Massa foi obtido. A implementaÃÃo dos modelos deste trabalho foi realizada na ferramenta livre Python utilizando seus mÃdulos cientÃficos de resoluÃÃo de equaÃÃes diferenciais. Esta ferramenta foi utilizada porque à livre, implementaÃÃo simples, quando comparada com outras linguagens e possui alta performance nas simulaÃÃes. Como estudos de caso, utilizaram-se dados experimentais da secagem convectiva assistida por ultrassom de cubos de maÃà (Malus domestica L. var Royal Gala) com 8 mm de aresta nas seguintes condiÃÃes operacionais: velocidades de secagem: 1, 2, 3 e 5 m/s; temperatura do ar de secagem: 45 ÂC e 60 ÂC; presenÃa e ausÃncia de ultrassom durante a secagem; presenÃa e ausÃncia de etapa de prÃ-tratamento com ultrassom. Os cubos de maÃà dos experimentos tinham, em mÃdia, 25Â1 g. A secagem foi realizada atà que as amostras perdessem 80% da massa inicial. Os parÃmetros, difusividade e coeficiente de transferÃncia de massa, foram ajustados por regressÃo nÃo linear pelo mÃtodo de Levenberg-Marquardt. Os resultados obtidos nas simulaÃÃes mostraram que o modelo implementado à promissor, pois representa bem o processo. Os valores obtidos da difusividade e coeficiente de transferÃncia de massa foram plausÃveis. Analisou-se a influÃncia da velocidade do ar de secagem, da temperatura, da assistÃncia do ultrassom no processo e da utilizaÃÃo de uma etapa de prÃ-tratamento com ultrassom no processo de secagem.

Resumo: No presente trabalho investigou-se a desidratação osmótica de maçãs (variedade Fuji), seguida ou não de secagem convectiva com ar quente. Foram determinados perfis de concentração de água e soluto(s) em amostras de maçãs cortadas ao meio e desidratadas osmoticamente em soluções aquosas binárias (30% e 50% de sacarose, p/p) e solução ternária (50% de sacarose e 10% de cloreto de sódio, m/m), sob agitação vigorosa e temperatura constante (27°C). As amostras imersas na solução osmótica durante 2, 4 e 8 h foram fatiadas a partir da superfície plana exposta. A densidade e os teores de água, açúcares totais e redutores e cloreto de sódio foram determinados em cada fatia. O modelo matemático que descreve o transporte de cada espécie estudada (água, sacarose e cloreto de sódio) se baseia na equação de continuidade e na Lei de Fick e considera o encolhimento do tecido. O modelo foi ajustado aos dados experimentais, através do método implícito de diferenças finitas de Crank-Nicolson para determinar os coeficientes efetivos de difusão como uma função da concentração, utilizando coordenadas materiais e integrando simultaneamente as equações diferenciais de cada componente (água e sacarose ou água, sacarose e cloreto de sódio). Imagens de microscopia ótica de tecidos tratados osmoticamente, previamente pigmentados com o corante vital vermelho neutro, foram obtidas variando-se a concentração das soluções e o tempo de exposição. Os registros fotográficos retratam alterações da estrutura celular, que variam de acordo com a intensidade do processo de desidratação. A secagem convectiva com ar quente foi realizada em amostras de maçãs cortadas ao meio, frescas e previamente tratadas em solução aquosa de sacarose a 50% p/p durante 4 horas (27°C). Os perfis de umidade foram determinados a partir da superfície, após a exposição da face plana das metades das maçãs ao fluxo de ar quente (60°C ) durante 3, 6, 10 e 24 horas de secagem. O modelo matemático que descreve o transporte da água se baseia nas equações de continuidade e na Lei de Fick e considera o encolhimento do tecido e a concentração inicial não homogênea para o tecido previamente tratado. De maneira similar à desidratação osmótica, a difusividade de água na secagem também foi determinada em função da concentração, utilizando-se o método implícito de diferenças finitas de Crank-Nicolson e coordenadas materiais. Obtevese um bom ajuste dos modelos matemáticos aos dados experimentais de desidratação osmótica e de secagem. A ordem de magnitude dos coeficientes obtidos para a desidratação osmótica foi uma ou duas vezes menor que de coeficientes de difusão binários de soluções puras de sacarose e de cloreto de sódio. No caso da secagem, o comportamento da difusividade mostrou dependência significativa com a concentração de água. O tecido fresco apresentou coeficientes superiores aos do tecido pré-tratado osmoticamente além de funcionalidades distintas para diferentes tempos de secagem (inferior e superior a 6 horas). O tecido tratado apresentou um comportamento mais estável da difusividade da água no material e foi descrito por uma única função. Este fato está relacionado com as mudanças estruturais ocorridas durante a secagem, mais severas para o tecido fresco em relação ao tecido tratado
Abstract: In this study it was investigated the osmotic dehydration of apples (Fuji variety) followed or not by convective drying with hot air. Concentration profiles were determined for water and solute(s) in samples of apples cut in half and osmotically dehydrated in binary aqueous solutions (30% and 50% sucrose, w/w) and ternary solution (50% sucrose and 10% sodium chloride, w/w) under vigorous stirring and constant temperature (27°C). The samples immersed in the osmotic solution for 2, 4 and 8 h were sliced from the exposed flat surface. The density and water, total and reducing sugars and sodium chloride contents were determined in each slice. The mathematical model that describes the transport of each species studied (water, sucrose and sodium chloride) is based on the continuity equation and on the of Fick's diffusion law and considers the tissue shrinkage. The model was fitted to experimental data through the finite difference implicit method of Crank-Nicolson, to determine the effective diffusion coefficients as a function of concentration, using material coordinates and integrating simultaneously the differential equations of each component (water and sucrose or water, sucrose and sodium chloride). Light microscopy images of osmotically processed tissues previously pigmented with the vital dye neutral red, were obtained, varying the concentration of solutions and time of exposure. The photographic records show changes in cellular structure, which vary with the intensity of the dehydration process. The convective air drying was carried out on samples of apples cut in half, fresh and treated in aqueous solution of sucrose to 50% w/w for 4 hours (27°C). The moisture profiles were determined from the surface, after exposure of the flat face of half of the apples to the flow of hot air (60 ° C) during 3, 6, 10 and 24 hours of drying. The mathematical model that describes the water transport is based on the continuity equation, the Fick's diffusion law, the tissue shrinkage and the nonhomogeneous initial concentration of the previously treated tissue. Similarly to the osmotic dehydration, the water diffusivity in drying was also determined in terms of concentration, using the finite difference implicit method of Crank-Nicolson and coordinated materials. It was possible to obtained a good fit of mathematical models to experimental data of osmotic dehydration and drying. The order of magnitude of the coefficients obtained for the osmotic dehydration was one or two times lower than diffusion coefficients of pure binary solutions of sucrose and sodium chloride. For drying, the behavior of diffusivity showed significant dependence with the concentration of water. The fresh tissue showed coefficients greater than the osmotically pre-treated tissue than it needs distinct functions for different times of drying (and less than 6 hours). The treated tissue showed a more stable behavior of the water diffusivity in the material and was described by a single function. This fact is related to the structural changes during drying, more severe for the fresh tissue than for the treated tissue

Full textThe drying of sewage sludge is a current environmental problem, not sufficiently described in the literature. Hence, the aim of this work is a numerical study of heat and mass transfers during solar drying of residual sludge. This sludge is assimilated to a porous medium and exposed to a forced convection laminar flow within a horizontal channel. The transfers in the channel and the porous medium are respectively described by the classic equations of forced convection and the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model. The implicit finite difference method is used to discretize the governing differential equation system. The algebraic systems obtained are solved using the Gauss, Thomas and Gauss-Seidel algorithms. To determine the drying rate, we associate a drying kinetics model. This model is based on the concept of the characteristic curve. We particularly studied the effects of climatic conditions (temperature, velocity and relative humidity of the ambient air as well as the solar radiation intensity) and the conditions relating to the sludge on the spatio-temporal evolutions of the transfers characteristic numbers as well as on drying kinetics. This work is completed by simulations using meteorological data from the Tataouine region in southern Tunisia. These data were statistically processed using the Liu and Jordan method to determine the typical day of each month. The rentability study of the dryer show that the summer period is the optimum period for drying

Full textIn this doctoral thesis, the analytical-numerical hybrid technique, internationally known as GITT (Generalized Integral Transform Technique), is used for the modeling and simulation of the equation of chemical species conservation, in the investigation of the incompressible, Newtonian and permanent laminar flow in permeable tubes. The flow is applied to the cross-flow process with membranes and two studies related to the elliptic and parabolic convective-diffusive equation were accomplished, for which the same boundary conditions are used. In the modeling, the velocity on the permeable wall is considered uniform and the velocity profiles for the entrance region flow are obtained from the literature. The mathematical model originally uses an expression for the concentration boundary layer thickness, with a methodology that determines the asymptotic ratio, establishing the concentration boundary layer thickness. The results are presented with convergence analysis through tables and with graphs for the mean local transmembrane flux, Sherwood correlation and the concentration boundary layer thickness, and they are also compared with other results and methodologies reported in the literature.

Full textLiquid-vapor two-phase flows have common applications in many fields including space thermal management systems. The performances of such systems are entirely associated to the coupling between thermal and hydrodynamic phenomena. Therefore, two-phase flows in microgravity condition have emerged as an active research area in the last decades. In order to complete the state of the art and to contribute to the increase in the knowledge of hydrothermal behavior of two-phase thermal management systems, the present study was conducted on convective condensation inside a mini tube, both in normal and micro gravity conditions. To analyze the effect of gravity on such flows, a preliminary transient modeling of the two-phase flow has been established. Simultaneously, an experimental investigation was carried out on the hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of condensation flows in two test sections of 3.4 mm inner diameter at low and intermediate mass velocities. The first experiment was conducted during the 62nd ESA parabolic flights campaign. The test section was made with copper and allowed measurements of the quasi-local heat transfer coefficient. A glass tube was also inserted in the middle of the test section for the visualization of the two-phase flow regime. From this study, the changes in heat transfer coefficient and flow regime according to gravity variations were determined. The second experiment was carried out on ground in a sapphire tube installed vertically considering downward flow. The set-up was designed in order to measure simultaneously the local heat transfer coefficient and the thickness of the liquid film falling down along the tube wall

Full textWhen a glass releases too quickly his dissolved gas, the loss of the aromas carried by the bubbles is sudden and irreversible. So, the knowledge of the physical mechanisms at the origin of CO2 release in a glass of champagne should lead to a glass shape conducive to aromas development and at a sustainable effervescence.The contribution of mechanisms of admixture of the wine on the CO2 desorption in a glass of champagne remains still unknown. To deepen our understanding of these aspects, we analyze the carbon dioxide release processes in tasting conditions. The approach adopted in this thesis consists in studying the mass transfer mechanisms (nucleation, diffusion, evaporation) between the liquid and gaseous phase. By experimental (laser tomography, PIV, IR thermography) and numerical ways (CFD), we follow the unsteady evolution of the two phase flow in a champagne glass. We highlight a complex flow, composed of multiple hydrodynamic instabilities. The results show also that the CO2 release strongly depends on the glass shape and on the wine temperature.By highlighting the glass shape on the carbon dioxide release, these works allowed to improve the parameters knowledge which affect or favor the effervescence process in tasting conditions. These conclusions must be confirmed by a tasting panel to show that the aromas release is closely related to the glass shape

Full textFundamental questions concerning the mass diffusion properties of biological systems under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions still remain due to the lack of experimental techniques capable of visualizing and measuring mass diffusion phenomena with a high accuracy. As a consequence, there is a need to develop new experimental techniques that can deepen our understanding of mass diffusion. Moreover, steady natural convection in a tilted three-dimensional rectangular enclosure has not yet been studied. This tilt can be a slight defect of the experimental device or can be imposed on purpose. In this dissertation, heat and mass transfer phenomena in parallelepiped enclosures are studied focusing on convectionless thermodiffusion and on natural convection of pure fluids (without thermodiffusion). Mass diffusion is studied with a novel optical technique, while steady natural convection is first studied in detail with an improved numerical analysis and then with the same optical technique initially developed for diffusion measurements. A construction of a precise optical interferometer to visualize and measure mass diffusion is described. The interferometer comprises a polarizing Mach–Zehnder interferometer, a rotating polariser, a CCD camera, and an original image-processing algorithm. A method to determine the isothermal diffusion coefficient as a function of concentration is proposed. This method uses an inverse analysis coupled with a numerical calculation in order to determine the diffusion coefficients from the transient concentration profiles measured with the optical system. Furthermore, thermodiffusion of protein molecules is visualized for the first time. The proposed method has three main advantages in comparison to similar methods: (i) reduced volume sample, (ii) short measurement time, and (iii) increased hydrodynamic stability of the system. These methods are validated by determining the thermophysical properties of benchmark solutions. The optical technique is first applied to study isothermal diffusion of protein solutions in: (a) dilute binary solutions, (b) binary solutions with a wide concentration range, and (c) dilute ternary solutions. The results show that (a) the isothermal diffusion coefficient in dilute systems decreases with molecular mass, as roughly predicted by the Stokes-Einstein equation; (b) BSA protein has a hard-sphere-like diffusion behaviour and lysozyme protein a soft sphere characteristic; and (c) the cross-term effect between the diffusion species in a dilute ternary system is negligible. The optical technique is then applied to (d) non-isothermal dilute binary solutions, revealing that that the aprotinin (6.5 kDa) and lysozyme (14.3 kDa) molecules are thermophilic and thermophobic, respectively, when using water as solvent at room temperature. Finally, the optical technique is applied to study Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a horizontal cubical cavity. Since natural convection can be studied in more depth by solving the Navier-Stokes equations, a bifurcation analysis is proposed to conduct a thorough study of natural convection in three-dimensional parallelepiped cavities. Here, a continuation method is developed from a three-dimensional spectral finite element code. The proposed numerical method is particularly well suited for the studies involving complex bifurcation diagrams of three-dimensional convection in rectangular parallelepiped cavities. This continuation method allows the calculation of solution branches, the stability analysis of the solutions along these branches, the detection and precise direct calculation of the bifurcation points, and the jump to newly detected stable or unstable branches, all this being managed by a simple continuation algorithm. This can be used to calculate the bifurcation diagrams describing the convection in tilted cavities. [...]

Full textMass transfer from particles is encountered in many biomedical applications, such as controlled drug delivery, cell culture, or in designing bioartificial organs. In operating conditions, particles are subjected to various flows, whose effect on solute transport is still not well understood and controlled. In this PhD thesis, we study the effect of the flow on mass transfer from core-shell capsules and fibers, using numerical simulations. Solute release from a core-shell fiber confined in a channel and subjected to Poiseuille flow is studied using two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann simulations. The combined effects of the flow and the shell permeability on mass transfer are analyzed over a wide range of Reynolds number covering both steady and unsteady flows. A new correlation giving the Sherwood number (the dimensionless mass transfer coefficient) as a function of the shell permeability, the Reynolds number, and the Schmidt number is proposed. The shell permeability is difficult to measure. Current characterization methods only allow the determination of an effective permeability for the whole particle (core and shell combined), and not specifically the shell permeability. A novel method to characterize capsules shell permeability is proposed and validated on both numerical and experimental data. This method consists in extracting the capsule permeability by fitting the release curves with numerical solutions of Fick’s second law of diffusion computed in one dimension using the finite difference method, by assuming spherical symmetry. Solute release from a capsule placed in a shear flow is also analyzed by the mean of three-dimensional simulations coupling the lattice Boltzmann method and the immersedboundary method for the fluid-structure interaction. The flow is found to enhance the masstransfer efficiency by forced convection. The effect of the boundary conditions set at the surface of the capsule is examined, as well. Considering Dirichlet boundary conditions at the particle surface, as classically done in literature, leads to significantly higher Sherwood numbers as compared to the case of continuity of both the concentration and the mass flux, which is more adapted to model solute release. The suspension dynamics of soft capsules in a microfluidic constriction is also studied. A state diagram describing the transition from capsule passage to blockage is determined as a function of their geometrical and mechanical properties. It can be used, for example, to optimize the design of microfluidic devices in order to enhance the mass transfer efficiency

Full textIn this study, mathematical models of simultaneous airflow, heat and mass transfer during forced convection cooling process were developed and validated with experimental data. The study showed that produce cooling is strongly influenced by different ventilated package designs. Generally, cooling uniformity was increased by increasing number of vents from 1 (2.4% vent area) to 5 (12.1% vent area). More uniform produce cooling was obtained at less cooling time when vents were uniformly distributed on package walls with at least 4.8% opening areas. Aerodynamic studies showed that heterogeneity of airflow distribution during the process is strongly influenced by different package vent configurations. The highest cooling heterogeneity index (108%) was recorded at 2.4% vent area whereas lowest heterogeneity index (0%) was detected in a package with 12.1% vent area.
The magnitudes of produce evaporative cooling (EC) and heat generation by respiration (HG) as well as the interactive effects of EC, HG and package vent design on produce cooling time were also investigated. Considerable differences in cooling times were obtained with regard to independent and simultaneous effects of EC and HG in different package vent configurations. Cooling time was increased to about 47% in a package with 1 vent compared to packages with 3 and 5 vents considering simultaneous effects of EC and HG. Therefore, the effects of EC and HG can be influential in designing the forced-air precooling system and consequently, in the accurate determination of cooling time and the corresponding refrigeration load.

Full textPart A is motivated by preparation of the experiment JEREMI (The Japanese-European Research Experiment on Marangoni Instability) to be performed on the International Space Station (ISS). One of the objectives of the experiment is the control of the threshold of an oscillatory flow in the liquid zone by the temperature and velocity of the ambient gas. The developed set-up for a liquid bridge allows to blow gas parallel to the interface at different temperatures and investigate the effects of viscous and thermal stresses on the stability of the flow. The present study reports on isothermal experiments with moving gas and non-isothermal experiments with motionless gas when the cooling of the interface occurs due to evaporation. The discussion concerning the experimental observations is based on two sources: an interface shape measured optically and the records on thermocouples giving an indication of how temperature and frequency evolve over time.
Part B is related to ground-based studies in course of preparation and realization of the microgravity experiment DCMIX (Diffusion Coefficient in MIXtures). DCMIX project is a series of experiments aimed at measuring of the Soret coefficients in liquid mixtures on the ISS which involves a wide international group of scientists. Two experiments have been recently completed and the third one is under preparation In the course of this thesis all the aspects of the previously existing set-up for measurements of the Soret (thermal diffusion) and diffusion coefficients in binary mixtures were studied, uncertainties were identified and improvements were done to obtain reliable results. The final design has been validated by measuring coefficients in three binary benchmark mixtures and water-isopropanol. The obtained results agree well with literature data.

Full textThe evaporation of a solvent/solute solution is a transient phenomenon which ends when the whole solvent has disappeared. Phase change generates a cooling of the liquid-gas interface, and consequently, it creates thermal and solutal gradients. These homogeneities spread in the core solution and produce, eventually, a fluid flow. This convection can be due to the surface tension and/or buoyancy variations. Experimental works have shown that some coating thicknesses stemming from drying processes are correlated to the size of the convection cells in the fluid region. A thorough understanding of the physical phenomena responsible to fluid convection should contribute to improve the control of deposit quality.Based on numerical and experimental works, we have studied the onset of convection for three kinds of models for the drying process of a Polyisobutylene-Toluène solution: A pure thermal model which is valid for short times, a solutal model devoted to the simulation of long times, only, and a thermal/solutal coupled model which takes into account the heat and mass transfer over a long time period of the evaporation process. The transient nature of the evaporation problem raises the issue of how to define the onset of the convective flow from a diffusive solution. Indeed, this flow motion occurs from a seed which is a small perturbation of the transient diffusive solution. If the perturbation is too weak, the necessary time interval for a significant growing of its magnitude will be greater than the time scale of the transient regime: thus the solution will never be considered as convective. Consequently, the influence of the perturbation is fundamental. In previous numerical works, this perturbation was imposed at the initial state, often through a random spatial distribution applied to the velocity or temperature field. In the present contribution, we have adopted a physical model where the adiabatic lateral walls have been replaced by diathermal walls: The local thermal inhomogeneities create a very weak flow acting as a small disturbance for the transient diffusive solution.In this thesis, we have developed a numerical model to evaluate the thresholds between the diffusive solutions and the convective flows, for the thermal, solutal and thermal/solutal coupled models, for two- and three-dimensional approximations of the Polyisobutylene-Toluène liquid film. Space-time diagrams and convective cell reconstructions at the liquid-gas interface by a Voronoï algorithm allowed us to get a better understanding of the way the disturbances propagate from the lateral walls for finally giving rise to a convective flow in the core fluid

Full textThis thesis deals with the modelling and the computation of steam-water two-phase flows. Liquid water flows are involved in many industrial facilities and a second phase may appear in some transients situations. Thus, pressure wave propagation and mass transfer are physical phenomena that need to be properly included in the modelling of such two-phase flows. A statistical two-fluid approach is used, leading to models similar to the Baer-Nunziato one. They include both convective and source terms without any assumption on the equilibrium between phases. Different closure laws for such models are compared on steam-water transient experiments including water-hammers and fast depressurization of liquid water. The computation of the different models is based on a fractional step method. A new convective scheme, able to deal with any Equation Of State, is used in the first step of the method. When compared with other schemes, it appears to be accurate, efficient and very robust. The second step of the method is dedicated to the treatment of source terms and requires several implicit schemes. Particular attention is paid to the verification of every scheme involved in the method. Convergence studies are carried out on test-cases with analytical solutions to that purpose. Based on existing work on fast depressurization of liquid water in an homogeneous approach, a new formulation of the mass transfer is proposed. Many comparisons between computational and experimental results are detailled in order to validate the models

Full textThe present work is a contribution to the understanding of the mechanisms of combined heat and mass transfers in natural convection during the evaporation of a liquid film with negligible thickness in a wavy vertical channel. The flow is laminar and two-dimensional. The equations governing the phenomenon are resolved using the finite volumes method and the treatment of the coupling between velocity and pressure is carried out by the projection method. The influences of the heat flux density, the temperature and the humidity of the inlet air and the shape of the channel wall on the transfers are studied. The results are presented in the form of cstreamlines, isotherms and iso-concentrations.The numerical simulations carried out have allowed the detailed study of the flow structure as well as the thermal and mass fields. We also represent the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers

Full textThis thesis deals with a numerical and analytical study of natural convection in a cavity filled with a non-Newtonian fluid. Neumann boundary conditions for temperature are applied to the active walls of the enclosure, while the two other ones are assumed impermeable and insulated. This study concerns a shallow enclosure filled or not with a porous matrix. The porous medium considered here is modeled according to the Darcy’s formulation. The differential equations describing the physical model are formulated in a standard manner assuming the validity of the Boussinesq approximation. A power law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behaviour of the saturating fluid. Both double-diffusive convection (α = 0) and Soret-induced convection (α = 1) are considered. In the case of a vertical enclosure, a scale analysis is presented for the two extreme cases of heat-driven and solute-driven natural convection. The governing parameters of the problem under study are the Rayleigh number R (or Rα), the power-law index n, the aspect ratio of the cavity A, Prandtl number Pr, Lewis number Le, buoyancy ratio φ and parameter α. An analytical solution, valid for shallow horizontal enclosures (A>>1), is derived on the basis of the parallel flow approximation. It is demonstrated that, for shear-thinning fluids (n <1), the onset of convection is subcritical. For shear thickening fluids (n>1), convection is found to occur at a supercritical Rayleigh number equal to zero. The effects of the non-Newtonian behavior on the fluid flow, temperature field and heat transfer are discussed in terms of the governing parameters. In the range of the governing parameters considered in this study, a good agreement is found between the analytical predictions and the numerical results obtained by solving the full governing equations
