Radiation effect on flow of a radiating gas in a vertical channel

E.O. Ogbaji, M.O. Ibrahim

Abstract

Fluid motion caused by a convective flow of a radiating gas was studied. Numerical solution for temperature, velocity and flow rate were obtained and graphs are presented for temperature, velocity and flow rate of gas. The results obtained showed that an increase in radiation parameter shows an increase in velocity, the temperature decreases as radiation parameter increases and lastly the flow rate increases as the radiation parameter increases.
