Heat Transfer Through Nano Fluid in a Vertical Wavy Channel with Travelling Thermal Waves

Abstract

The two dimensional free convection flow and heat transfer of a Cu and water nano-fluid in a vertical wavy channel is considered. Traveling thermal wave on the wavy boundaries are imposed. The channel is filled with porous medium. The set of governing equations with the above mentioned conditions leads to a system of non-linear differential equations. They are solved using RK 6th order method with the help of Mathematica 10.4 package. The flow and temperature are found with reverse behavior in either parts of the channel. The rate of heat transfer is also analyzed.
