چکیده

Characteristics of methanol diffusion flames burning under three different configurations with respect to the directions of forced and natural convective flow fields are presented for zero and normal gravity conditions. Combustion of a spherical methanol particle and of a methanol film within a mixed convective environment, have been numerically simulated. The effects of gravity on aiding, opposing and perpendicular flow are presented. The gravitational field considerably changes the flow field, flame shapes and fuel burning rates, especially for the opposing flow case.

MHD ‎r‎otating heat and mass transfer free convective flow past an exponentially accelerated isothermal plate with fluctuating mass ‎diffusion

In this paper, we have considered the problem of rotating, magnetohydrodynamic heat and mass transfer by free convective flow past an exponentially accelerated isothermal vertical plate in the presence of variable mass diffusion. While the temperature of the plate is constant, the concentration at the plate is considered to be a linear function with respect to time t. The plate is assumed to be...

Soret and chemical reaction effects on a three-dimensional MHD convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate

An analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional MHD mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. The parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...

Analytical and numerical investigation of heat and mass transfer effects on magnetohydrodynamic natural convective flow past a vertical porous plate

The aim of this investigation is to study the effect of hall current on an unsteady natural convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting optically thick radiating fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The Rosseland diffusion approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. Analytical a...

Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Porous Sheet with Cross-diffusion Effects and Convective Thermal Conditions

This article investigates the influence of cross-diffusion on the viscous fluid flow over a porous sheet stretching exponentially by applying the convective thermal conditions. Velocity slip at the boundary is considered. The numerical solutions to the governing equations are evaluated using successive linearisation procedure and Chebyshev collocation method. It is observed from this study that...
