Heat transfer effects on flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with variable temperature

Abstract

An exact solution to the problem of flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature is analyzed. The temperature of the plate is raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity and temperature profiles are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number Gr, time and an accelerating parameter a. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or Gr

Thermal radiation effect on an unsteady MHD free convective chemically reacting viscous dissipative fluid flow past an infinite vertical moving porous plate with Heat source

“…Double -Diffusive Convection -Radiation interaction on unsteady MHD flow over a vertical moving porous plate with heat generation and Soret effects was studied by Mohamed [8]. Free convection flow of a viscous incompressible flow past an oscillating infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion has been studied by Muthucumaraswamy and Vijayalakshmi [9]. In this research paper, the dimensionless governing equations are tackled using Laplace transform technique and the temperature and species concentration near the plate are assumed to be linearly varying with respect to time.…”

Study of Transient Natural Convection Flow Past an Accelerated Infinite Vertical Plate by using Finite Difference Method

“…Muthucumaraswamy [7] studied the interaction of thermal radiation on vertical oscillating plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion. Heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate with variable surface tension and concentration in the presence of the magnetic field was presented by Elbashbeshy [8]. Sattar [9] discussed free convection and mass transfer flow through a porous medium past an infinite vertical plate with time dependent temperature and concentration.…”

Initial Unsteady Free Convective Flow Past an Infinite Vertical Plate with Radiation and Mass Transfer Effects

“…In several processes such as drying, evaporation of water at body surface, energy transfer in a wet cooling tower, and flow in a desert cooler, heat and mass transfer occur simultaneously. In view of such applications, several authors, namely, Chandrakala et al [14], Muthucumaraswamy et al [15], Muthucumaraswamy et al [16], Prasad et al [17], Narahari et al [18], Rajesh [19], Brewster [20] and Abramowitz [21] investigated free convection flows with simultaneous heat and mass transfer phenomenon. However, the exact solutions to these problems have been obtained by few authors, namely Mebine et al [22], Narahari et al [23], Narahari et al [18] and Rajesh [19].…”
