Abstract: | Heat transfer analysis has been presented for the boundary layer forced convective flow of an incompressible fluid past a
plate embedded in a porous medium. The similarity solutions for the problem are obtained and the reduced nonlinear ordinary
differential equations are solved numerically. In case of porous plate, fluid velocity increases for increasing values of
suction parameter whereas due to injection, fluid velocity is noticed to decrease. The non-dimensional temperature increases
with the increasing values of injection parameter. A novel result of this investigation is that the flow separation occurred
due to suction/injection may be controlled by increasing the permeability parameter of the medium. The effect of thermal radiation
on temperature field is also analyzed. |
