Sekhar and P. G. Siddheshwar and G. Jayalatha and R. Prakash}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The problem of thermal convection in temperature and magnetic field sensitive Newtonian ferromagnetic liquid is studied in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field and throughflow. Using a combination of Galerkin and shooting techniques the critical eigenvalues are obtained for stationary mode. The effect of Prandtl number (Pr > 1) on onset is insignificant and nonlinearity of non-buoyancy magnetic parameter M3 is found to have no influence on the onset of ferroconvection. The magnetic buoyancy number, M1 and variable viscosity parameter, V have destabilizing influences on the system. The effect of throughflow Peclet number, Pe is to delay the onset of ferroconvection and this effect is independent of the direction of flow.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {11}, number = {6}, year = {2017}, pages = {1269 - 1277}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10007805}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/126}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 126, 2017}, }
