Magnetic field and dissipation effects on mixed convection viscous fluid flow by a channel in the presence of porous medium and heat generation/absorption phenomenon

Abstract

Abstract In this study, we investigate the phenomenon of mixed convection in viscous fluid flow by a vertical channel, considering the presence of magneto‐hydro‐dynamics and porosity. Mixed convection occurs when both buoyancy forces and external forces, such as pumps or fans, influence the flow behavior. Understanding and accurately predicting mixed convection is crucial for optimizing heat exchanger design and performance. To model the temperature equation, we utilize the concept of the first law of thermodynamics. Additionally, we incorporate effects such as Joule heating, heat generation, and radiative heat flux in the energy equation modeling. The resulting physical liquid equations are solved using the shooting technique with the RKF (Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg) scheme. We present graphical representations of the flow variables, discussing their behavior in detail. The introduction provides an overview of the paper's roadmap, while the conclusion highlights the main and significant results obtained from our study. We found that, the temperature is more when liquid motion in between channel for large numerical values of thermal radiation parameter and Reynolds number.
