In the current article, in the presence of thermal and diffusion processes, the equations governing elastic materials through thermodiffusion are obtained. The Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) equation modifies and defines the equations for thermal conduction and mass diffusion that occur in solids. This modification is based on adding heat and diffusion relaxation times in the Green–Naghdi Type III (GN-III) models. In an unbounded medium with a cylindrical hole, the built model has been applied to examine the influence of the coupling between temperature and mass diffusion and responses. At constant concentration as well as intermittent and decaying varying heat, the surrounding cavity surface is traction-free and is filled slowly. Laplace transform and Laplace inversion techniques are applied to obtain the solutions of the studied field variables. In order to explore thermal diffusion analysis and find closed solutions, a suitable numerical approximation technique has been used. Comparisons are made between the results obtained with the results of the corresponding previous models. Additionally, to explain and realize the presented model, tables and figures for various physical fields are presented.
