Study of time dependent free convective kerosene-nanofluid flow with viscous dissipation past a porous plate

摘要

In this article, we perceived the amplification of heat transfer of viscous incompressible kerosene oil based nanofluid past a porous plate accompanied by viscous dissipation. A robust Galerkin type numerical finite element technique is adopted to solve the equations which model the flow. The alterations in velocity and temperature for diverse values of appropriate parameters such as suction parameter (λ), Eckert Number (E), volume fraction (δ), thermal Grashof number (G) are examined in the form of graphs and for skin friction coefficient as well as Nusselt number in the form of tables. This study contributes to enhance the cooling/heating performance of industrial and engineering systems.
