Yp. Reddy et al., UNSTEADY CONVECTION FLOW-THROUGH A PIPE OF VARIABLE-GAP INDUCED BY A TRAVELING THERMAL-BOUNDARY WAVE, International journal of energy research, 21(4), 1997, pp. 359-376
We consider the mixed convection how of viscous fluid in a tube of var
ying gap with a travelling thermal wave imposed on the boundary. The n
onlinear equations governing the flow have been solved by a perturbati
on method. The velocity and temperature are discussed numerically by d
rawing profiles with reference to the variations of in-the-flow parame
ters. The shear stresses and Nusselt number are discussed numerically
through tables. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
