An Analysis of Free-Convection about a Vertical Plate

Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection Flows with Thermal Memory over a Moving Vertical Plate in Porous Medium

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

An Unsteady Forced and Free Convection Flow Past an Infinite Permeable Vertical Plate

A suction/injection controlled free convection motion of a viscous incompressible fluid past an infinite permeable vertical plate considered. The expression for temperature and velocity fields obtained and using laplace transform technique. The influence of each variable parameter is discussed with the aid of graphs. It is found that temperature is higher near the plate with injection while vel...

Analysis of Laminar Film Condensation on a Vertical Plate

Free Convection Flow past a Vertical Flat Plate Embedded in a Saturated Porous Medium

Abstract-A numerical solution for the free convection flow past a vertical semi-infinite flat plate embedded in a highly saturated porous medium by allowing the plate to have a non-uniform temperature or a non-uniform heat flux distributions has been developed. Both local heat transfer rate and excess surface temperature as a function of the distance along the plate are tabulated for a few case...

A film model for free convection over a vertical porous plate with blowing or suction

A film model is described for free convective heat transfer u [ms1] and friction in the presence of wall suction or injection. The analysis v [ms1] yields a thermal correction factor, which appears to be the classical x [In] (Ackermann) expression, and a novel friction correction factor, y [m] derived here for the first time. Both correction factors are applied to free convection along a vertic...
