Variable Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity on Steady Free Convection Heat Transfer of Micropolar Fluid Flow Over a Porous Hot Vertical Plate With Constant Heat Flux

Prof. G.C. Hazarika, Probhat Hatimota

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the effect of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on natural heat transfer of steady incompressible micro-polar fluid flow over a porous hot vertical plate with constant heat flux .Here the flow governing equations are trans -formed into ordinary differential equations and the resulting boundary value problems are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta shooting method . The results are represented graphically to illustrate influence of the various physical parameters on the velocity profiles, micro-rotation profile and heat transfer profile.

Keywords

Variable viscosity and thermal conductivity , micro-polar fluid , porous medium , skin friction , shooting method.
