This paper deals with the study of the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection from a horizontalsurface embedded in a radiating fluid saturated porous medium. Similarity solutions for buoyancy induced heat and masstransfer from a horizontal surface, where the wall temperature and concentration are a power function of distance fromthe origin, are obtained by using an integral approach of Von Karman type. The effects of the governing parameters suchas buoyancy ratio, Lewis number, radiation parameter and the power-law exponent on local Nusselt and local Sherwoodnumbers have been investigated both numerically and graphically.

The two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Jeffrey fluid is investigated in this paper. The characteristics of heat and mass transfer with chemical reaction have also been analyzed. Convective boundary conditions have been invoked for the thermal boundary layer problem. Exact similarity solutions for flow, temperature, and concentration are derived. Interpretation to the embedded parameters is assigned through graphical results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, and surface heat and mass transfer. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness by increasing the rheological parameter of the Jeffrey fluid. An intensification in the chemical reaction leads to a thinner concentration boundary layer.

With the recent developments in computing technology, increased efforts have gone into the simulation of various scientific methods and phenomenon in engineering fields. One such case is the simulation of heat and mass transfer equations which is becoming more and more important in analyzing various scenarios in engineering applications. Analysing the heat and mass transfer phenomenon under various environmental conditions require us to simulate it. However, this process of numerical solution of heat and mass transfer equations is very time consuming. Therefore, this paper aims at utilizing one of the acceleration techniques developed in the graphics community that exploits a graphics processing unit (GPU) which is applied to the numerical solutions of heat and mass transfer equations. The nVidia Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) programming model can be a good method of applying parallel computing to program the graphical processing unit. This paper shows a good improvement in the performance, while solving the heat and mass transfer equations for a capillary porous radially composite cylinder with the second kind of boundary conditions, numerically running on GPU. This heat and mass transfer simulation is implemented using CUDA platform on nVidia Quadro FX 4800 graphics card. Our experimental results depict the drastic performance improvement when GPU is used to perform heat and mass transfer simulation. GPU can significantly accelerate the performance with a maximum observed speedup of more than 8 fold times. Therefore, the GPU is a good approach to accelerate the heat and mass transfer simulation.
