A Numerical study on the effect of dissipation on a steady free convection flow through a porous vertical plate is made. The relevant non-leaner boundary equations are made dimensionless using specific non-dimensional variables. The corresponding non-similar partial differential equations are solved using implicit finite difference method with Keller-Box scheme. The results are then presented graphically and discussed thereafter. Keywords: porous plate; viscous dissipation; natural convection.

To alleviate the damages on launch tube surface from high temperature the rocket exhaust gas during firing the missile, we thus propose the heat transfer enhancement mechanism for the tube wrapped with metal sheet providing the small space, so-called air gap. The idea of the augmentation is by creating the free convection flow pattern in the narrow gap making by wrapping the metal sheet around the launch tube. In this present work, design of experiment is applied to parametrically design the launch tube with metal cover sheet configuration (cylindrical annulus with fins). The objective is to parametrically design and investigate the configuration of the metal-sheet-wrapped launcher. To predict the free convection in narrow cylindrical annulus heated from the below surface (launch tube) including the rotating effect, the CFD investigation of the time-variant axissymmetric flow is conducted. The influences of three design factors, diameter and position of exit channels and air gap thickness on the flow field and the heat transfer are investigated.

The paper deals with the free convection flow along a vertical plate moving arbitrarily in its own plane. The basic equations of the boundary-layer flow and heat transfer are linearized and the first two approximations are considered. The first approximation is the case of steady-state free convection flow while the second approximation is the response of the fluid velocity and temperature fields to the motion of the plate for which limiting solutions are obtained by the Laplace transform technique in two regions; namely, for large times and for small times. The particular case when the plate is given an impulsive start at t = 0 is investigated in detail. It is shown how the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer at the plate respond to the motion of the plate.
