Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze magnetohydrodynamics fully developed natural convection heat-generating/absorbing slip flow through a porous medium. Adomian decomposition method was applied to find the solutions to the problem. Design/methodology/approach In this study, Adomian decomposition method was used. Findings Results show that heat generation parameter enhanced the temperature and velocity of the fluid in the annulus. Moreover, slip effect parameter increases the velocity of the fluid. Originality/value Originality is in the application of Adomian decomposition method which allowed the slip at interface.

In this work, the convective flow of heat generating hydromagnetic fluid through a leaky channel is investigated. Due to channel porosity, the asymmetrical slip conditions are imposed on both walls. The coupled dimensionless partial differential equations are reduced to a system of second-order boundary-value problems based on some flow assumptions and solved by Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Variations in velocity and temperature profiles are presented and discussed in detail. The result of the analysis revealed that increasing Hartmann number decreases the flow velocity while the slip parameters enhance the flow.

An investigation has been carried out to study entropy generation in a viscous, incompressible, and reactive fluid flowing steadily through a channel with porous materials. Approximate solutions for both velocity and temperature fields are obtained by using a rapidly convergent Adomian decomposition method (ADM). These solutions are then used to determine the heat irreversibility and Bejan number of the problem. Variations of other important fluid parameters are conducted, presented graphically, and discussed.

PurposeThis paper presents the problems using Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) for investigating the deformation and nonlinear behavior of the large deflection problems on Euler-Bernoulli beam.Design/methodology/approachThe governing equations will be converted to characteristic equations based on the LADM. The validity of the LADM has been confirmed by comparing the numerical results to different methods.FindingsThe results of the LADM are found to be better than the results of Adomian decomposition method (ADM), due to this method's rapid convergence and accuracy to obtain the solutions by using fewer iterative terms. LADM are presented for two examples for large deflection problems. The results obtained from example 1 shows the effects of the loading, horizontal parameters and moment parameters. Example 2 demonstrates the point loading and point angle influence on the Euler-Bernoulli beam.Originality/valueThe results of the LADM are found to be better than the results of ADM, due to this method's rapid convergence and accuracy to obtain the solutions by using fewer iterative terms.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the natural convection heat transfer and irreversibility characteristics in a quadrantal porous cavity subjected to uniform temperature heating from the bottom wall. Design/methodology/approach Brinkmann-extended Darcy model is used to simulate the momentum transfer in the porous medium. The Boussinesq approximation is invoked to account for the variation in density arising out of the temperature differential for the porous quadrantal enclosure subjected to uniform heating on the bottom wall. The governing transport equations are solved using the finite element method. A parametric study is carried out for the Rayleigh number (Ra) in the range of 103 to 106 and Darcy number (Da) in the range of 10−5-10−2. Findings A complex interaction between the buoyant and viscous forces that govern the transport of heat and entropy generation and the permeability of the porous medium plays a significant role on the same. The effect of Da is almost insignificant in dictating the heat transfer for low values of Ra (103, 104), while there is a significant alteration in Nusselt number for Ra ≥105 and moreover, the change is more intense for larger values of Da. For lower values of Ra (≤104), the main contributor of irreversibility is the thermal irreversibility irrespective of all values of Da. However, the fluid friction irreversibility is the dominant player at higher values of Ra (=106) and Da (=10−2). Practical implications From an industrial point of view, the present study will have applications in micro-electronic devices, building systems with complex geometries, solar collectors, electric machinery and lubrication systems. Originality/value This research examines numerically the buoyancy driven heat transfer irreversibility in a quadrantal porous enclosure that is subjected to uniform temperature heating from the bottom wall, that was not investigated in the literature before.

PurposeThis paper aims to revisite the traditional Adomian decomposition method frequently used for the solution of highly nonlinear extended surface problems in order to understand the heat transfer enhancement phenomenon. It is modified to include a parameter adjusting and controlling the convergence of the resulting Adomian series.Design/methodology/approachIt is shown that without such a convergence control parameter, some of the published data in the literature concerning the problem are lacking accuracy or the worst is untrustful. With the proposed amendment over the classical Adomian decomposition method, it is easy to gain the range of parameters guaranteeing the convergence of the Adomian series.FindingsWith the presented improvement, the reliable behavior of the fin tip temperature and the fin efficiency of the most interested from practical perspective are easily predicted.Originality/valueThe relevant future studies involving the fin problems covering many physical nonlinear properties must be properly treated as guided in this paper, while the Adomian decomposition method is adopted for the solution procedure.

An abstract result is proved for the convergence of Adomian decomposition method for partial differential equations that model porous medium equation. Moreover, we prove that this decomposition scheme applied to a porous medium equation arising in instability phenomena in double phase flow through porous media is convergent in a suitable Hilbert space. Furthermore, this technique is utilized to find closed-form solutions for the problem under consideration.

Abstract This paper analyzes the laminar, incompressible mixed convective transport inside vertical channel in an electrically conducting fluid saturated porous medium. In addition, this model incorporates the combined effects of Soret, Hall current and Joule heating. The nonlinear governing equations and their related boundary conditions are initially cast into a dimensionless form using suitable similarity transformations and hence solved using Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). In order to explore the influence of various parameters on fluid flow properties, quantitative analysis is exhibited graphically and shown in tabular form.

Purpose This paper aims to use the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) to investigate the effects of thermal convection, thermal conduction, surface emissivity and thermal radiation on the heat dissipated by a continuously moving plate undergoing thermal processing. Design/methodology/approach In performing the analysis, it is assumed that the thermal conductivity and surface emissivity of the plate are both temperature-dependent. The accuracy of the LADM solutions is confirmed by comparing the results obtained for the temperature distribution within the plate with those reported in the literature based on the differential transformation method. Findings It is shown that the heat dissipated from the plate reduces as the Peclet number increases. By contrast, the dissipated heat increases as any one of the non-dimensionalized parameters of the system, i.e. Nc, Nr and B, increases. In addition, the temperature drop along the length of the plate reduces as parameter A increases owing to a more rapid heat transfer. Originality/value The results provide a useful source of reference for the choice of suitable materials and cooling fluids in a variety of practical applications.
