Effects of Temperature Dependent Thermal Conductivity on Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Free Convection Flow along a Vertical Flat Plate with Heat Conduction

Abstract: MHD natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid along a vertical flat plate with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and conduction effects is analyzed. The governing equations with associated boundary conditions for this phenomenon are converted to dimensionless forms using a suitable transformation. The transformed non-linear equations are then solved using the implicit finite difference method with Keller-box scheme. Numerical results of the velocity, temperature, skin friction coeffi… Show more

“…Table 2 depicts that the Nusselt number decreases due to increase in the thermal conductivity parameter (θ k =3, 5... 15) for h= 0.4. The results are qualitatively similar to the related study by Rahman et al (2008) and show that increasing the thermal conductivity of the fluid leads to a decrease in the Nusselt number. This may partly be explained by the fact that that increasing thermal conductivity has the effect of accelerating and increasing the temperature of the fluid.…”
