Abstract

This study investigates the oscillatory free convection about a horizontal circular cylinder in a Newtonian fluid with presence of heat generation. The surface temperature of the cylinder oscillates harmonically about the temperature of the surrounding medium. Heat is generated internally within the Newtonian fluid at a rate proportional to a power of the temperature difference. The formulation of partial differential equations is nondimensionlized and solved by using finite difference method. It is found that the stream function and temperature increases with the presence of heat generation. The presence of heat generation significantly give an effect which is increase temperature and velocity distribution.
