The effect of internal heat generation (absorption) and Prandtl number on MHD mixed convection flow from a vertical flat plate

Downloads

Abstract

An investigation is carried out to examine the impacts of internal heat generation (absorption) and Prandtl number on MHD mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer from a vertical flat plate. Proper transformation is used to form a system of coupled non linear partial differential equations for governing both the flow and heat transfer. These conditions have been settled numerically by using an implicit finite difference system called Keller-box method. The present analysis reveals that both velocity and temperature distributions are upsurges as internal heat generation (absorption) parameter increases; henceforth thickness of the thermal and momentum boundary layer increments. The velocity diminishes and temperature increments with the rise in magnetic parameter along the plate surface.
