Abstract

The epistemic-type uncertaintiesuncertainties are the main focus in connection with the heat transfer problems. The same are arising due to imprecise involved parameters, boundary conditions, experimental errors, and material properties. This chapter includes the numerical approach to investigate heat transfer problems in presence of uncertainties. In addition, to quantify the impreciseness, fuzzy numberfuzzy number is used. Using the fuzzy number with the concept of finite element method (FEMfinite element method (FEM)), fuzzy finite element method (FFEMfuzzy finite element method (FFEM)) is developed and the same is discussed in detail. Then a case study is illustrated using FFEMfuzzy finite element method (FFEM) to quantify the velocity and temperature profiles. The Rayleigh numberRayleigh number ( R a ) and radiation parameterradiation parameter ( R d ) are considered as fuzzy. Here, the modelled coupled algebraic equations are simplified through Gauss-Seidel (GS) iterative techniqueGauss-Seidel (GS) iterative technique. Further, convergence analysisconvergence analysis of the different profiles is discussed and the sensitiveness of the same is analyzed. Finally, using the obtained results the efficiency and usefulness of the FFEMfuzzy finite element method (FFEM) is depicted.
