Effect of Radiation on MHD Mixed Convection Flow from a Vertical Plate Embedded in a Saturated Porous Media with Melting
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of radiation on a steady two-dimension magneto-hydrodynamic mixed convection flow from a vertical plate embedded in a saturated porous media with melting is analyzed.The non-linear partial differential equations, governing the flow field under consideration, have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-swigert shooting iteration technique together with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration schemes. Resulting non-dimensional velocity and temperature profiles are then presented graphically for different values of the parameters of physical and engineering interest. It is observed that the nusselt number decreases with increase in melting parameter, while it increases with increase in radiation parameter.

Conjugate Heat Transfer of MHD non-Darcy Mixed Convection Flow of a Nanofluid over a Vertical Slender Hollow Cylinder Embedded in Porous Media
In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...
