Combined free and forced convection flow past a vertial porous plate

Abstract

Local similarity solutions of the forced and free convection flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate have been obtained numerically. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown for air (Pr = 0.72) and for different values of Gr (Gr > 0, cooling of the plate and Gr < 0, heating of the plate) (Grashof number), E (Eckert number) and f w (f, > 0, suction, f w < 0, injection). The effects of these parameters are discussed.

Effects of Pressure Stress Work and Viscous Dissipation in Mixed Convection Flow Along a Vertical Flat Plate

“…Our results also agree with the Polhausen [12] result which is shown in the Table 1. Present numerical results agree with those of Soundalgekar et al and Hossain and Arbad [7,11]. From Fig.…”

Dufour and Soret Effect on Steady MHD Flow in Presence of Heat Generation and Magnetic Field past an Inclined Stretching Sheet

“…The nonlinea fferential Equations (8), (9) and (10) under th conditions (11) are solved numerically for various values of the parameters entering into the problems.…”

“…Sparrow [8] explained a parameter named Rosseland approximation to describe the radiation heat flux in the energy equation in his book. Soundalgekar et al [9] made analytical study on the MHD forced and free convection flow past a vertical porous plate. The flow field of a stretching wall with a power-law velocity variation was discussed by Banks [10].…”

Radiation Effects on Unsteady MHD Free Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Flow Of Past a Vertical Porous Plate Embedded In a Porous Medium with Viscous Dissipation

“…Since then many researchers have been published papers on free convection flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate. Soundalgekar et al [7] studied free convection flow past a vertical porous plate. Yamamoto et al [8] investigated the acceleration of convection in a porous permeable medium along an arbitrary but smooth surface.…”
