Free Convection Fluid Flow from a Spinning Sphere with Temperature-Dependent Physical Properties

Makanda, Gilbert (4th International Conference of Fluid Flow, Heat and Mass Transfer, 2017)

Natural convection from a spinning sphere with temperature dependent viscosity, thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation was studied. A unique system of non-similar partial differential equations was solved using the ...
Investigating the Dynamics of Knowledge Acquisition in Learning Using Differential Equations

Makanda, Gilbert; Sypkens, Roelf (World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, 2017)

A mathematical model for knowledge acquisition in teaching and learning is proposed. In this study we adopt the mathematical model that is normally used for disease modelling into teaching and learning. We derive ...
Numerical Analysis of Free Convection Casson Fluid Flow from a Spinning Cone in non-Darcy Porous Medium with Partial Slip and Viscous Dissipation Effects

Makanda, Gilbert; Sibanda, Precious (International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Methods, 2016)

In the present study, a numerical analysis on free convection Casson fluid flow from a spinning cone in non-Darcy porous medium with radiation, partial slip, cross diffusion and viscous dissipation is considered. The surface ...
