Effects of Conjugate Heat Transfer on Steady MHD Mixed Convective Heat Transfer Flow over a Thin Vertical Plate Embedded in a Porous Medium with High Porosity

Abstract

<jats:p>This study investigates mixed convection heat transfer about a thin vertical plate in the presence of magneto and conjugate heat transfer effects in the porous medium with high porosity. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and dense. The nonlinear coupled parabolic partial differential equations governing the flow are transformed into the nonsimilar boundary layer equations, which are then solved numerically using the Keller box method. The effects of the conjugate heat transfer parameter<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>, the porous medium parameter<jats:italic>k</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub>, the Forchheimer parameter<jats:italic>F</jats:italic>*, the mixed convection parameter Ri, the magnetic parameter Mn, and the electric field parameter<jats:italic>E</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub>on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as on the local skin friction and local heat transfer are presented and analyzed. The validity of the methodology and analysis is checked by comparing the results obtained for some specific cases with those available in the literature.</jats:p>

Overlapping Multi-Domain Spectral Method for Conjugate Problems of Conduction and MHD Free Convection Flow of Nanofluids over Flat Plates

“…Azim et al [12] studied the problem of steady CHT through an electrically-conducting fluid for a vertical flat plate with a transverse uniform magnetic field. Kaya [13] investigated mixed convection heat transfer about a thin vertical plate with magneto and CHT effects in a porous medium. Kaya [14] studied the effect of CHT on MHD mixed convection about a vertical slender hollow cylinder.…”
