Computational analysis of microgravity and viscous dissipation impact on periodical heat transfer of MHD fluid along porous radiative surface with thermal slip effects
Abstract
The current thermal slip and Magnetohydrodynamic analysis plays prominent importance in heat insulation materials, polishing of artificial heart valves, heat exchangers, magnetic resonance imaging and nanoburning processes. The main objective of the existing article is to deliberate the impact of thermal slip, thermal radiation and viscous dissipation on magnetized cone embedded in a porous medium under reduced gravitational pressure. Convective heating characteristics are used to increase the rate of heating throughout the porous cone. For viscous flow along a heated and magnetized cone, the conclusions are drawn. The simulated nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a dimensionless state by means of suitable non-dimensional variables. The technique of finite differences is implemented to solve the given model with Gaussian elimination approach. The FORTRAN language is used to make uniform algorithm for asymptotic results according to the boundary conditions. The influence of controlling parameters, such as thermal radiation parameter Rd, Prandtl number Pr, porosity parameter Ω, viscous dissipation parameter Ec, δ thermal slip parameter, Rg reduced gravity parameter and mixed convection parameter λ is applied. Graphical representations were created to show the consequences of various parameters on velocity, temperature and magnetic field profiles along with fluctuating skin friction, fluctuating heat and oscillatory current density. It is found that velocity and temperature profile enhances as radiation parameter enhances. It is noted that the amplitude and oscillations in heat transfer and electromagnetic waves enhances as magnetic Prandtl factor increases.
