The present numerical work describes the effect of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convective heat transfer flow along a vertical flat plate with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat conduction. The governing equations reduce to local non-similarity boundary layer equations using suitable transformation have been integrated by employing an implicit finite difference method together with the Keller box technique. Comparison with previously published work is performed and excellent agreement is observed. Profiles of the dimensionless velocity and temperature distributions as well as the local skin friction coefficient and surface temperature distribution are shown graphically for various values of the magnetic parameter M, thermal conductivity variation parameter g and Prandtl number Pr.Keywords: Implicit finite difference method, free convection flow, vertical flow, vertical flat plate, temperature dependent thermal conductivityDOI: 10.3329/jname.v6i1.2654Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Vol.6(1) 2009 16-29

MHD natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid along a vertical flat plate with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and conduction effects is analyzed. 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 with Keller-box scheme. Numerical results of the velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and surface temperature for different values of the magnetic parameter, thermal conductivity variation parameter, Prandtl number and conjugate conduction parameter are presented graphically. Detailed discussion is given for the effects of the aforementioned parameters.

Implicit Finite Difference

The current article presents the entropy formation and heat transfer of the steady Prandtl-Eyring nanofluids (P-ENF). Heat transfer and flow of P-ENF are analyzed when nanofluid is passed to the hot and slippery surface. The study also investigates the effects of radiative heat flux, variable thermal conductivity, the material’s porosity, and the morphologies of nano-solid particles. Flow equations are defined utilizing partial differential equations (PDEs). Necessary transformations are employed to convert the formulae into ordinary differential equations. The implicit finite difference method (I-FDM) is used to find approximate solutions to ordinary differential equations. Two types of nano-solid particles, aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and copper (Cu), are examined using engine oil (EO) as working fluid. Graphical plots are used to depict the crucial outcomes regarding drag force, entropy measurement, temperature, Nusselt number, and flow. According to the study, there is a solid and aggressive increase in the heat transfer rate of P-ENF Cu-EO than Al2O3-EO. An increment in the size of nanoparticles resulted in enhancing the entropy of the model. The Prandtl-Eyring parameter and modified radiative flow show the same impact on the radiative field.

Purpose This paper aims to considered the problem of identification of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in the nonstationary, nonlinear heat equation. To describe the heat transfer in the furnace charge occupied by a homogeneous porous material, the heat equation is formulated. The inverse problem consists in finding the heat conductivity parameter, which depends on the temperature, from the measurements of the temperature in fixed points of the material. Design/methodology/approach A numerical method based on the finite-difference scheme and the least squares approach for numerical solution of the direct and inverse problems has been recently developed. Findings The influence of different numerical scheme parameters on the accuracy of the identified conductivity coefficient is studied. The results of the experiment carried out on real measurements are presented. Their results confirm the ones obtained earlier by using other methods. Originality/value Novelty is in a new, easy way to identify thermal conductivity by known temperature measurements. This method is based on special finite-difference scheme, which gives a resolvable system of algebraic equations. The results sensitivity on changes in the method parameters was studies. The algorithms of identification in the case of a purely mathematical experiment and in the case of real measurements, their differences and the practical details are presented.
