    This investigation reports on a stability analysis of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a horizontal of micropolar fluid layer heated from below. The effect of a feedback control strategy on the onset of steady convection in the presence of internal heat source is investigated theoretically using Galerkin technique.

    Get PDF
    The influence of coriolis force on the onset of steady Rayleigh-Benard convection subjected to Soret parameter in a horizontal nanofluid layer is considered analytically. The confined lower and upper boundary conditions of the nanofluid layer are considered to be free-free, rigid-free and rigid-rigid respectively. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusion. Following the usual linear stability theory, the eigenvalue solution is obtained numerically by using Galerkin technique. From the investigation, the presence of coriolis force due to the rotation inhibits the onset of convection in nanofluid layer and have a stabilizing effect. Further, the instability of the system get advanced with the increased values of the Soret parameter

    Get PDF
    The influences of feedback control and internal heat source on the onset of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a horizontal nanofluid layer is studied analytically due to Soret and Dufour parameters. The confining boundaries of the nanofluid layer (bottom boundary–top boundary) are assumed to be free–free, rigid–free, and rigid–rigid, with a source of heat from below. Linear stability theory is applied, and the eigenvalue solution is obtained numerically using the Galerkin technique. Focusing on the stationary convection, it is shown that there is a positive thermal resistance in the presence of feedback control on the onset of double-diffusive convection, while there is a positive thermal efficiency in the existence of internal heat generation. The possibilities of suppress or augment of the Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a nanofluid layer are also discussed in detail

    Get PDF
    Rayleigh–Bénard convection is the heat transfer process due to buoyancy effect involved that occurred in a horizontal plane of nanofluids layer heated from below. The model for nanofluids includes the mechanisms of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The onset of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a horizontal rotating nanofluids layer and in a horizontal nanofluids layer saturated in a rotating porous medium with feedback control, internal heat source, magnetic field, double–diffusive coefficients, porosity, anisotropic, viscosity variation and thermal conductivity variation parameters are investigated theoretically. The confining lower and upper boundary conditions of the nanofluids layer are assumed to be free–free, rigid–free and rigid–rigid. A linear stability analysis of Rayleigh–Bénard convection is used, then the eigenvalue is obtained numerically using the Galerkin method and solved using Maple software. The impact of the feedback control, rotation, internal heat source, magnetic field, double–diffusive coefficients, porosity, anisotropic, viscosity variation and thermal conductivity variation parameters on the onset of convection in nanofluids system are analyzed and presented graphically. It is found that the impact of increasing the effects of feedback control, rotation, magnetic field, Dufour, porosity, anisotropic and thermal conductivity variation parameters help to delay the onset of convection in the system, meanwhile elevating the effects of internal heat source, Soret and viscosity variation parameters hasten the instability of the system. Further, the lower and upper boundary conditions in the present investigation are obviously found to be more stable in rigid–rigid boundaries compared to free–free and rigid–free boundaries
