Numerical investigation on steady natural convective flow past a perpendicular wavy surface with heat absorption/generation

Abstract

The controlling of heat transport procedures through external energy source effects is one of the mainly significant problems in modern applied physical sciences. Major strong research in thermal sciences, mechanical engineering and including energy modeling, planning and energy supervisions, energy conservations, energy efficiencies, biomass and bio-energy, renewable energy, energy storage, energy in buildings. In the current existing paper, the consequences of thermal conductivity on temperature, this is inversely proportionally by the linear function of temperature on free convective movement of an incompressible viscous fluid through the heated uniform and vertical wavy surface is examined. Associated with boundary conditions, the governing boundary layer equations be translated into the non-dimensional structure for phenomenon by utilizing an appropriate transformation. In the domain of vertical plate that is flat, the resulting method of nonlinear partial differentiated equations are mapped and then numerically by applying the implicit finite difference technique with Keller-box technique. The rate of heat transfer, the skin friction coefficient, the isotherms and streamlines throughout the boundary layer are exhibited graphically.
