Numerical Simulation of the Effects of Reduced Gravity, Radiation and Magnetic Field on Heat Transfer Past a Solid Sphere Using Finite Difference Method

The current study deals with the reduced gravity and radiation effects on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection past a solid sphere. studied configuration is modeled using coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. obtained model transformed to dimensionless form suitable scaling variables. finite difference method adopted solve governing equation determine velocity temperature profiles in addition skin friction coefficient Nusselt number. Furthermore, graphic tabular presentations of results are made. verification numerical performed by comparing presented literature good concordance encountered. main objective this investigation effect buoyancy force caused density variation convective heat transfer show that increases parameter solar but decreases Prandtl number magnetic field parameter.
