Natural convective boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate with heat flux condition
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
The paper analytically investigated the double-diffusive natural convective boundarylayer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate with heat flux condition. The diffusive model used for nanofluid included the effects of Brownian motion and Thermophoresis. A similarity solution was presented and numerical calculations were performed by Maple software. The reduced Nusselt number as a function of a buoyancy-ratio number Nr, a Brownian motion number Nb, and a Thermophoresis number Nt was found with a various values of Prandtl number Pr and Lewis number Le.
