Nanofluid flow with multimedia physical features for conjugate mixed convection and radiation

In this study, energy conversion problems of conjugate conduction, convection and radiation heat and mass transfer with viscous dissipation and magnetic effects have been investigated. Governing equations including continuity equation, momentum equation, energy equation and heat conduction equation for nanofluid flow have been analyzed by a combination of similarity transformation and finite-difference method. For heat convection energy conversion aspect, some importance parameters applied to the system, such as buoyancy parameters G(t) and G(c), radiative energy parameter k(0), boundary proportional parameter A(b) and Prandtl number Pr which can be produced positive effects for larger values of those parameters. For mass transfer energy conversion aspect, it has been obtained a larger effect with a larger value of Sc. For heat conduction aspect, it depends on the conduction convection parameter N-cc, a larger N-cc number can be produced a larger heat conduction effect. The study work considers multimedia effects, so that it is also one kind of multimedia physical features study. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
