Free Convection from a Vertical Permeable Circular Cone with Pressure Work and Non-Uniform Surface Temperature

Free Convection Heat Transfer from a Non-Isothermal Permeable Cone with Suction and Temperature-Dependent Viscosity

This work studies the free convection heat transfer from a non-isothermal permeable cone with suction and temperature-dependent viscosity. A suitable coordinate transformation is used to transform the governing equations into nonsimilar boundary layer solutions, and the cubic spline collocation method is then employed to solve the obtained governing equations. The local Nusselt number is presen...

Unsteady Free Convection from a Sphere in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface Temperature

In this paper a transient free convection flow around a sphere with variable surface temperature and embedded in a porous medium has been considered. The temperature of the sphere is suddenly raised and subsequently maintained at values that varies with position on surface. The method of asymptotic expansions is applied for small Rayleigh numbers and then a finite-difference scheme is used to s...

Boundary layer flow beneath a uniform free stream permeable continuous moving surface in a nanofluid

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a boundary layer analysis for the fluid flow andheat transfer characteristics of an incompressible nanofluid flowing over a permeable isothermalsurface moving continuously. The resulting system of non-linear ordinary differential equations issolved numerically using the fifth–order Runge–Kutta method with shooting techniques usingMatlab and Maple s...

Unsteady free convection flow between two vertical plates with variable temperature and mass diffusion

The unsteady free convection flow between two long vertical parallel plates withvariable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of the thermal radiation hasbeen presented. The governing dimensionless coupled linear partial differentialequations on the flow are solved by using the Laplace transform technique. TheExact solutions have been obtained for the fluid velocity, temperature and t...
