this paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...

This paper documents the optimization of architecture in accordance with Bejan’s Constructal theory. For illustration, we consider the optimization of a cavity that intrudes into a solid conducting wall, having internal heat generation and adiabatic conditions on the outer surfaces. The cavity is rectangular, with fixed volume and variable aspect ratio, and the solid is trapezoidal. The objecti...

natural convection heat transfer from a vertical heated plate in a saturated porous medium is analyzed under thermal non-equilibrium assumptions. the plate is maintained at a non uniform temperature and the fluid is considered to be with internal heat generation. the coupled momentum and energy equations for fluid and solid phases are transformed to a similarity format, and solved numerically. ...
