Numerical Investigation of Natural Convection and Radiation in a Moving Radial Porous Fin
B. J. Gireesha G. Sowmya M. Nikitha
The analysis of the heat transfer of the moving porous radial fin with natural convection and radiation effect has been carried out. Here, Newton's law of cooling, Fourier's law of conduction and Stefan-Boltzmann's law of radiation were considered to formulate the fin model. The generated governing equation was solved numerically using shooting technique based the fourth-fifth order Runge Kutta Fehlberg method. The resulting dimensionless parameters affecting the thermal performance of the fin were analyzed through the graphs. It is observed that, with the improvement of the convective parameter, there is a greater heat transfer from the surface of the fin.
