Heat transfer transmission in a Marangoni boundary layer flow along an inclined disk in a porous medium

Abstract

Effects of thermal radiation and pressure work on Marangoni boundary layer flow and heat transfer over an inclined disk through a porous medium are numerically discussed. The partial differential equations dominant flow phenomenon are switched into ordinary differential equations with the aid of appropriate similarity transformations. The switched ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by Rung-Kutta. The influence of the different parameters on the velocity and temperature of the fluid are discussed and analysed. Nusselt number is computed and investigated for different embedded parameters in the problem statements.
