The Mahanadi River is one of the largest river systems in the east coast of Indiaand the estuary drains and communicates with the Bay of Bengal. The seasonallyvarying fresh water river discharge and the intrusion of salt water from the baydepend on the flow associated with the semi-diurnal...

In this paper, the transport of volume in a binary liquid mixture is theoretically investigated in three steps, with strong implications for the measurement of mutual diffusivities in non-dilute mixtures. In a first step, the velocity of volume transport is determined from the transport...

The Kramers’ equation of Brownian motion is applied to investigate the motion of a colloidal particle in a medium subjected to a temperature gradient. The equation is generalized in two ways. First, a chemical force is included in order to account for the non-ideality of the colloidal...

The Onsager–Casimir reciprocal relations obtained for gaseous systems on the basis of the linearized Boltzmann equation in a general form [F. Sharipov, Onsager–Casimir reciprocal relations based on the Boltzmann equation and gas–surface interaction law. Single gas., Phys. Rev. E 73 (2006)...

This paper theoretically investigates particle diffusion in a medium where the diffusivity depends on position. We exclusively consider continuous-time, continuous-space transport and our working tool is the linear kinetic theory pertinent to guest particles in a passive host medium (Lorentz’s...

The motion of a linear polymer chain in a good solvent under a temperature gradient is examined theoretically by breaking up the flexible chain into Brownian rigid rods, and writing down an equation of motion for each rod. The motion is driven by two forces. The first one is Waldmann’s...

Experimental investigations on thermophysical properties and forced convective heat transfer characteristics of various nanofluids are reviewed and the mechanisms proposed for the alteration in their values or characteristics due to the addition of nanoparticles are summarized in this review. A...

A revision of Newton's law of viscosity appearing in the role of the deviatoric stress tensor in the Navier–Stokes equation is proposed for the case of compressible fluids, both gaseous and liquid. Explicitly, it is hypothesized that the velocity v appearing in the velocity gradient term ∇v...
