Thermal radiation effects on parabolic heating of an infinite vertical plate

Abstract

The laws which govern the heat transmission are very important to engineers in the field of design, construction, testing and operation of heat exchange apparatus. The study of heat transfer is of great significance to engineers to create control and sustain any thermal scheme in order to transfer particular amount of heat in a known time. Electrical engineers apply the knowledge of heat transfer for design of cooling systems for motors, generators and transformers. Chemical engineers are concerned with the evaporation, condensation, heating and cooling of fluids. Mechanical engineers deal with the problem of heat transfer in the field of internal combustion engines, steam generation and refrigeration. The science of heat transfer seeks not merely to explain how heat energy may be transferred but also to predict the rate at which the exchange will take place under certain conditions. The aim of the thesis is to study the exact solution of unsteady flow of viscous incompressible fluid past a parabolic started infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation with/without magneto hydrodynamic effect (MHD) and Hall effect under certain boundary condition. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction and it explains the systematic development of the work done in the area of heat and mass transfer effects on parabolic started infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation. newlineIn chapter 2, the problem on radiative flow past a parabolic started infinite isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass diffusion in the presence of thermal radiation with/without MHD effects are extensively discussed. newline newline
