Popis: | The heat transfer is studied in the boundary layer formed on a flat plate by the impingement of an incompressible micropolar fluid jet. The thermal boundary layer equations are obtained after writing the governing equations for the steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid in cartesian co-ordinate system. The solution for the energy equation inside the boundary layer is obtained as a polynomial in terms of the distance from the stagnation point. The temperature of the plate and the temperature outside the boundary layer are assumed to be constant. The temperature distribution and the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient are presented graphically for various values of the material parameters which arise due to the micropolar property of the fluid. These results have been compared with the corresponding results for a Newtonian fluid. |
