• EFFECT OF RADIATION AND DISSIPATION ON CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FLOW OF A VISCOUS ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FLUID IN A NON-UNIFORMLY HEATED VERTICAL CHANNEL

Abstract

The effect of radiation on mixed convective heat transfer flow of a viscous fluid, incompressible electrically conducting fluid in a vertical channel bounded by flat walls. A non-uniform temperature is imposed on the walls on the walls. The viscous dissipation is taken in to account in the energy equation. Assuming the slope of the boundary temperature to be small. We solve the governing momentum, energy and diffusion equations by a perturbation technique. The velocity, the temperature, the shear stress and the rate of heat transfer have been analyzed for different variations of the governing parameters. The dissipative effects and radiation effects on the flow, heat and mass transfer are clearly brought out
