Transient MHD Natural Convection between Two Vertical Walls Heated/Cooled Asymmetrically

Transient MHD Natural Convection Between Two Vertical Walls Heated/Cooled Asymmetrically

The transient MHD natural convection flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid confined between vertical walls heated/cooled asymmetrically has been studied. We have considered two different cases (i) when one of the walls is stationary and (ii) when one of the walls starts to move impulsively. The governing equations have been solved analytically using the Laplace transfor...

Effect of Radiation on Transient Natural Convection Flow between Two Vertical Walls

The effects of radiation on transient natural convection of a viscous incompressible fluid confined between vertical walls have been studied. We have considered the two different cases (i) flow due to the impulsive motion and (ii) flow due to accelerated motion of one of the walls. The governing equations are solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. The variations of velocity ...

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

Transient MHD Convective Flow of Fractional Nanofluid between Vertical Plates

Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...
