Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of treating biogas with 20% calcium hydroxide solution to improve its

This research numerically investigated the impact of heat and mass transfer analysis in an unsteady free convection flow with viscous dissipation in a vertical channel affected by constant suction/injection factors. The nonlinear partial differential equation regulating flow formation is solved with the implicit finite difference method. Several physical parameters were studied, including skin friction, Nusselt number, thermal Grashof number, solutal Grashof number, magnetic field, and porous parameters, which lead to an increase in fluid velocity. However, in the case of viscous dissipation, the parameter increases the fluid velocity as it increases, and also significantly improves the energy of the temperature profile with its increase. In all the conditions described, thermal management may be accomplished by understanding the influence of each flow parameter and adjusting it accordingly.
