Stagnation Point Flow And Heat Transfer Of A Micropolar Fluid In A Porous Medium, Hazem Ali Attia Jan 2006

Stagnation Point Flow And Heat Transfer Of A Micropolar Fluid In A Porous Medium, Hazem Ali Attia

Turkish Journal of Physics

The steady laminar flow in a porous medium of an incompressible non-Newtonian micropolar fluid impinging on a permeable flat plate with heat transfer is investigated. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat transfer is presented and discussed.


Rotating Disk Flow With Heat Transfer Of A Non Newtonian Fluid In Porous Medium, Hazem Ali Attia Jan 2006

Rotating Disk Flow With Heat Transfer Of A Non Newtonian Fluid In Porous Medium, Hazem Ali Attia

Turkish Journal of Physics

The steady flow of an incompressible viscous non-Newtonian fluid above an infinite rotating disk in a porous medium is studied with heat transfer. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear differential equations which govern the hydrodynamics and energy transfer are obtained. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid on the velocity and temperature distributions is considered.
