Effect of Inclination and Magnetic Field of a Fluid Flow in a Square Channel with a Solid Body
Abstract
This study examined fluid flow and heat transfer through natural convection and thermal radiation in both horizontal and inclined scenarios within a porous channel, which included a square isolating body at its center, under influence of a magnetic field orthogonal to channel. The fluid examined is considered to be incompressible, laminar, and stable. Temperature of left wall of channel is higher than right, but bottom and top walls are heat isolated. Energy, momentum, and continuity governing equations were shown using finite difference techniques. Issue is modelled, and equations that govern it are solved using MATLAB software that utilizes alternate direction explicit method (ADEM). Finally, effects of changes in governing parameters on temperature and velocity have been considered. These effects include radiation parameter, Rayleigh number, Darcy number, Hartmann number, angle of inclination, and Prandtl parameter.
