The present paper analyzes the MHD effects on the steady free convective boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over a linearly moving porous vertical semi-infinite plate with suction and viscous dissipation. The governing boundary layer equations are reduced to a two-point boundary value problem using similarity transformations. The resultant problem is solved numerically using ...

This paper investigates the influence of the effect of viscous dissipation and radiation on natural convection heat transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Darcy porous media saturated with non-Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature. The Ostwald–de Waele power law model is used to characterize the ...

A narrow-banded spectrum of gravity waves propagating in one horizontal direction 4 at the surface of water with finite depth may be governed by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation 5 (NLSE). If the depth is non-uniform, the coefficients in the NLSE are variable and an additional 6 linear term due to conservation of wave action flux is present, which may act as a dissipative term 7 that causes the ...

In this paper, we study the effects of Hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. By means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic Reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...

Problem statement: A steady two-dimensional free convection and mass transfer flow past a continuously moving semi-infinite flat plate is studied theoretically, by taking into account the viscous dissipation effect. Approach: The governing equations are transformed into a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equation by using suitable similarity transformations. The coupled differential eq...

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of incompressible viscous flow over a nonlinearly stretching sheet with the presence of viscous dissipation is investigated numerically. The similarity transformation reduces the time-independent boundary layer equations for momentum and thermal energy into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations, including nonlinear eq...

Boundary Layer Flow past a stretching surface with constant wall temperature, of a nanofluid is studied for heat transfer characteristics. The system of partial differential equations describing such a flow is subjected to similarity transformations gives rise to a boundary value problem involving a system of ordinary differential equations. This system is solved by a shooting method. Effect of...

The second law analysis of heat transfer of a non-Newtonian, laminar falling liquid film along an inclined heated plate is investigated. The upper surface of the liquid film is considered free and adiabatic. Velocity and temperature profiles are obtained analytically and used to compute the entropy generation number (Ns), irreversibility ratio (Ф) and the Bejan number (Be) for several values of...
