Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsViscous Dissipation Effect on Steady free Convection and Mass Transfer Flow past a Semi-Infinite Flat PlatePalanisamy Geetha, Muthamperumal Bhavathikannu Krishna MoorthyProblem 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 equations are integrated using the Runge-Kutta Gill method together … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,503 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApproximate Solutions of a Higher Order MHD Flow of a Uniformly Stretched Vertical Permeable Surface in the Presence of Heat Generation/Absorption which Resulted from a Quadratic ReactionO. K. KorikoHigher order MHD flow of a uniformity stretched vertical permeable surface in the presence of heat generation/absorption which resulted from a quadratic reaction was studied. The resulting coupled nonlinear partial differential equations is solved by asymptotic expansion. It was discovered that the maximum value of velocity occurs in the body of the fluid close to the surface not at the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,445 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Generation/Absorption Effect on Natural Convection Flow in a Vertical Annulus with Time-Periodic Boundary ConditionsMichael O. Oni, Basant K. JhaThe role of heat generation/absorption on natural convection flow formation in a vertical annulus with prescribed time-periodic heating is investigated in this article. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are converted into ordinary differential equation using suitable transformations and closed form expressions are obtained for temperature distribution, velocity profile, Nusselt number, skin friction and mass flow rate in terms … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2019 · 6,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFREE CONVECTION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN FLOW PAST A SEMI-INFINITE FLAT PLATE IN TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD WITH HEAT FLUXP. Geetha, M.B.K. Moorthy, M. DakshinamoorthyA steady two-dimensional MHD free convection of heat transfer in flow past a semi-infinite flat plate in transverse magnetic field with heat flux has been examined. The governing partial differential equation are non-dimensionalised and transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential similarity equations, in a single independent variable η and using Runge-Kutta Gill method with shooting technique. The velocity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 4 Jul 2014 · 7,059 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUNSTEADY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ALONG A STRETCHING CYLINDER AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONM. Y. AklThe axisymetric laminar boundary layer unsteady flow along a continuously stretching cylinder immersed in a viscous and incompressible fluid is studied. The governing partial boundary layer equations in cylindrical form are first transformed into ordinary differential equations these equations are solved analytically using the optimal modified Homotopy Asymptotic method in order to get a closed form solution for the dimensionless … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 7,152 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMagneto Convection in Tilted Square Cavity with Differentially Thermally Active Vertical WallsGokila Subbarayalu, Selladurai VelappanProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to study numerically the magnetoconvection in a tilted square cavity with differentially thermally active vertical walls. The two vertical side walls of tilted enclosure are differentially thermally active, each consisting of alternating equal sized hot and cold surface elements facing each other in an opposed manner while the horizontal top and bottom … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,355 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,783 accessesView PDF Cite
