Buoyancy Effects on Laminar Mixed Convection in Vertical Channel With Dissipation

Abstract

Deals with the buoyancy effects on laminar mixed convection in vertical channel is considered. Solutions of the governing parabolic equations are obtained by the use of an implicit finite difference technique coupled with a marching procedure. The velocity, the temperature and the pressure profiles are presented graphically for different values of governing parameters like Eckert Number Ek, buoyancy parameter Gr/Re and Prandtl number Pr and their behaviour discussed.
