Natural Convection from Combined Thermal and Mass Diffusion Buoyancy Effects in Micropolar Fluids
SINOPSIS
A regular parameter perturbation analysis is presented to study the effect of combined thermal and diffusion buoyancy in the presence of both viscous dissipation and pressure stress in micropolar fluids on natural convection flows. The following natural convective flows are analyzed: those adjacent to an isothermal surface and uniform heat flux surface, a plane plume and flow generated from a horizontal line energy source on a vertical adiabatic surface. The velocity, microrotation distribution, temperature and concentration profiles are shown. Numerical results are obtained for the local Nusselt number as well as Sherwood number, wall shear stress and wall couple stress.
