ABSTRACT:
In this work, we studied the matter of heat transfer by the natural convection for a dissipatable fluid which flows in a tube, its walls composed from porous material, and a mathematical model was constructed, represented by a system of two-dimension non-linear partial differential equations, describing the flow behavior of the fluid through a horizontal tube and the distribution of temperatures inside the tube and under the influence of a vertical magnetic field at the tube level. The resulting differential equations were treated by numerical methods using the alternating directions implicit method (ADI), which is one of the finite differences methods, and in both cases: unsteady state and steady state. And we completed the study of the effect for each of: Prandtl number, Schmidt number, Gratshof number, and Radiation parameter.
