MHD Boundary Layer Flow over a Cone Embedded in Porous Media with Joule Heating and Viscous Dissipation
Aim of the paper is to study the Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow over a cone under the effect of joule heating and viscous dissipation. The surface of the cone is cooled and heated by the flowing fluid having constant temperature along with variable heat transfer coefficient.The surface of the cone is subjected under the convective heat flux. The governing equation for MHD boundary layer flow are non-linear partial differential equations, are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity techniques. The reduced ordinary coupled equations are solved with Runge-Kutta’s fourth order method followed by shooting techniques. The effects on flow and heat convection of various physical parameters pertinent to the modeled problem are computed and analyzed and shown through graphs.
