Thermal Radiation on Transient Laminar Gray Gas Flow Past an Oscillating Vertical Plate with Variable Temperature

Abstract

Authors have presented an analytical approach on transient laminar gray gas flow past an oscillating vertical flat plate in the presence of natural convection and radiation. The fluid is considered to be a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but non- scattering medium. The Rosseland flux approximation is employed to simulate radiation heat transfer contribution. We have also studied Stoke’s first and second problem to justify the physical significance on this problem. This problem is solved by employing Laplace Transform method. Numerical results of velocity and temperature distributions are depicted graphically. Also, numerical results of frictional shearing stress and critical Grashof number are presented in tables.
