Second Law Analysis of MHD Micropolar Fluid Flow through a Porous Microchannel with Multiple Slip and Convective Boundary Conditions

The impact of space dependent heat source in the transport of micropolar fluid in the existence of magnetic dipole, Joule heating, viscous heating, thermal radiation, hydrodynamic slips and convective condition effects has been numerically investigated. The dimensioned governing equations are non-dimensionlzed by using dimensionless variables then non-dimensional forms of the corresponding equations are than tackled by the versatile Finite Element Method (FEM). The effects of pertinent physical parameters characterize the flow phenomena are presented through graphs and discussed. It is found that, the impact of thermal based heat source advances the heat transfer characteristics significantly than exponential to space dependent. The thermal performance can be improved through the effects of magnetic dipole, viscous heating, Joule heating and convective condition. Further, the present numerical results are compared with previously published results in the literature as a limiting case of the considered problem and found to be in good agreement with the existing results.

Heat transfer enhancement in H2O suspended by aluminium alloy nanoparticles over a convective stretching surface

The purpose of this work is to investigate the heat transport on water suspended by aluminium alloy nanomaterials. The analysis is conducted by incorporating the influence of imposed magnetic field and viscous dissipation over convective surface. The self-similar version of the model is treated numerically and the results for the flow field are presented. It is perceived that the velocity of AA7072-H2O and AA7075-H2O declines for stronger magnetic field effects. Due to convective condition, the temperature rises abruptly. Moreover, increasing trends in the local heat transfer rate are examined for higher Biot effects.

Spectral approach to study the entropy generation of radiative mixed convective couple stress fluid flow over a permeable stretching cylinder

The present literature illustrates the radiative couple stress fluid runs over a permeable stretched cylinder. The problem has been modelled mathematically introducing the mixed convective condition and magnetic effect. Additionally, the analysis of entropy generation provides the fine points of the flow. The leading PDE equations of the system have been framed non-dimensionally using proper transformation. The resulting ODEs are tackled using by Spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). A convergence schematic was obtained graphically. Consequence of various parameters on the flow features has been delivered via graphs and tables. Result signifies that Bejan number declines due to magnetic source. The entropy generation escalates for magnetic parameter, Reynolds number, but couple stress factor discloses the dual effect. The couple stress parameter allows Nusselt number to reduce at the rate 19.05%, whereas heat transport enhances for radiation at the rate 1.67%. Skin friction enhances for couple stress factor at the rate 8.45%.
