The effects of temperature dependent thermal conductivity on natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid along a vertical flat plate with heat generation have been investigated in this paper. The governing equations with associated boundary conditions for this phenomenon are converted to dimensionless forms using a suitable transformation. The transformed non-linear equations are then solved using the implicit finite difference method. Numerical results of the velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient and surface temperature profiles for different values of the thermal conductivity variation parameter, Prandtl number and heat generation parameters are presented graphically. Detailed discussion is given for the effects of the aforementioned parameters.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v9i2.9025 Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering 9(2012) 113-122

In this paper, the viscous dissipation effects on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection flow over a sphere in the presence of heat generation have been described. The governing boundary layer equations are first transformed into a nondimensional form and the resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations are then solved numerically using finite-difference method together with Keller-box scheme. The numerical results of the surface shear stress in terms of skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer in terms of local Nusselt number, velocity as well as temperature profiles are shown graphically and tabular form for a selection of parameters set consisting of heat generation parameter Q, magnetic parameter M, viscous dissipation parameter N and the Prandlt number Pr.

Laminar free convection flow from an isothermal sphere immersed in a fluid with thermal conductivity proportional to linear function of temperature has been studied. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a non-dimensional form and the resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations is reduced to local non-similarity equations, which are solved numerically by very efficient implicit finite difference method together with Keller box scheme. Numerical results are presented by velocity and temperature distribution of the fluid as well as heat transfer characteristics, namely the heat transfer rate and the skin-friction coefficients for a wide range of thermal conductivity parameter γ (= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0) and the Prandtl number Pr (= 0.7, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0).   Keywords: Natural convection, temperature dependent thermal conductivity, isothermal sphere.    doi:10.3329/jname.v2i2.1872  Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering 2(2005) 53-64

Combined effects of viscous dissipation and temperature dependent thermal conductivity on MHD free convection flow with heat conduction and Joule heating along a vertical flat plate have been described in the present work. The governing boundary layer equations with associated boundary conditions for this phenomenon are converted to non-dimensional form using a suitable transformation. The resulting non-linear partial differential equations are then solved using the implicit finite difference method with Keller-box scheme. The numerical results in terms of the skin friction coefficient, the surface temperature, the velocity and the temperature profiles over the whole boundary layer are shown graphically for different values of the Prandtl number Pr, the magnetic parameter M, the thermal conductivity variation parameter γ, viscous dissipation parameter N and the Joule heating parameter J. Numerical results of the local skin friction co-efficient and the surface temperature profile for different values of N are presented in tabular form.Keywords: Joule heating; MHD; conduction; temperature dependent thermal conductivity; viscous dissipation;natural convection.DOI: 10.3329/jname.v5i2.2648Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering 6(1)(2009) 30-40

In the current work, thermal behaviour analysis of a natural convection porous fin with internal heat generation and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity is studied. The developed symbolic heat transfer models are for the purpose of the investigation of the effects of various parameters on the thermal behaviour of the porous fin. It is shown that its governing nonlinear differential with proper boundary conditions is exactly solvable. To this aim, we reduce the order of differential equations first and then convert into a total differential equation by multiplying a convenient integrating factor. A full discussion and exact analytical solution in the implicit form is given for further physical interpretation and it is proved that a solution to the problem may not exist or the solution is mathematically unique depending on the values of the parameters of the model.
