Abstract

This work revisited the mixed convection flow formation in a uniformly heated vertical porous channel filled with porous material as discussed by Chandrasekhara and Nayrayanan [11]. Using perturbation method as well as numerical solution, Chandrasekhara and Nayrayanan [11] discussed the behavior of the fluid as well as rate of heat transfer. This methods are known not to be exact solution. In this work, we derived an exact solution using D’Alembert’s method and corrected some results obtained in [11]. To justify the accuracy of the present method, we used the implicit finite difference method (IFDM). Result shows that D’Alembert’s method is more efficient, effective and thus a promising tool for finding exact solution for coupled equations.
