Abstract
This work deals with the theoretical investigation on the effect of feedback control in a nanofluid layer on natural convection. The partial differential equations involved in the problem are solved by asymptotic approximations and the nanoparticles components are computed analytically and discussed graphically for various values of feedback control using Galerkin method. There are three types of boundaries that are considered in this investigation namely free-free, rigidfree and rigid-rigid boundaries which defined the lower-upper boundaries. It is found that an increase of the feedback control suppress the onset of natural convection in nanofluid layer and the nanofluid parameters have a significant effect on the thermal stability in the system. Keywords— Convection, Nanofluid, Feedback Control, Galerkin method.
