Abstract
- This article aims to explore the impressive impact of emerging parameters on transient fully evolved free convective flow inside a vertical cylinder containing a porous material. The mathematical formulation of the model related to the considered physical circumstance is presented under compatible boundary conditions. Closedâform solutions are received for the velocity field, the temperature distribution, mass flux, skin friction, and the Nusselt number in terms of Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions of the first kind. Impressive effects of parameters such as the Darcy number Da, Prandtl number Pr, viscosity ratio M, and also time t on both the velocity and temperature distribution have been explored employing graphs and tables. It is irradiated by analysis that flow erection, heat transfer rate, skin friction, and mass flux are admirably impacted by the Prandtl number, the Darcy number, viscosity ratio parameter, and time. It is found that both the velocity and temperature field profiles rise with the rising value of time and ultimately attain their steady state. Moreover, the Prandtl number and the viscosity ratio parameter reduce the velocity profiles, while the reverse phenomenon occurs with the Darcy number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
