ABSTRACT
Steady laminar
mixed convection boundary layer flow past a horizontal circular cylinder with
constant wall heat flux, immersed in a viscous and incompressible fluid of
temperature-dependent viscosity is considered in this study. The governing
partial differential equations were transformed using non-similar
transformation and then solved numerically by an implicit finite-difference
scheme known as the Keller-box method. The effects of temperature-dependent
viscosity parameter θr on the flow and heat transfer characteristics were
examined for various values of Prandtl number, Pr and the mixed convection
parameter, λ. It was found that for both assisting and opposing flows, as
θr increases, the local skin friction coefficient increases while the wall
temperature decreases for air but for water, the local skin friction coefficient
decreases then slightly increases while temperature decreases.

ABSTRAK
Aliran lapisan
sempadan mantap berlamina bagi olakan campuran ke atas silinder bulat mengufuk
dengan fluks haba malar, direndam dalam bendalir likat tak mampat dengan
kelikatan bersandar-suhu dipertimbangkan. Persamaan menakluk dalam bentuk
persamaan pembezaan separa dijelmakan menggunakan penjelmaan tak serupa dan
kemudiannya diselesaikan menggunakan skim beza terhingga tersirat yang dikenali
sebagai kaedah kotak Keller. Kesan parameter kelikatan bersandar-suhu θr
ke atas ciri-ciri aliran dan pemindahan haba dikaji bagi pelbagai nilai nombor
Prandtl, Pr dan parameter olakan campuran, λ. Didapati untuk kedua-dua
aliran membantu dan menentang, apabila θr meningkat, pekali geseran kulit
meningkat sementara suhu dinding menurun bagi udara tetapi bagi air, pekali
geseran kulit menurun kemudian meningkat sedikit sementara suhu dinding menurun.
Kata kunci: Isofluks; kebersandaran
