MHD Effect on Free Convective Flow of a Stratified Fluid through Porous Medium Bounded By a Vertical Plane

Abstract

In this work, MHD effect on free convective flow of a stratified fluid through a porous medium bounded by a vertical plane is investigated. Considering both viscous and Darcy dissipations, the temperature of the plate is varying linearly along the vertical direction. Analytical solutions of momentum and energy equations are obtained by Perturbation technique. The dimensionless Skin friction co-efficient and Nusselt number are also estimated. The effects of various physical parameters like Prandtl number Pr, Hartmann number Ha, Darcy resistance parameter σ, buoyancy force parameter N and equilibrium temperature gradient parameter AT on velocity and temperature distribution are analyzed through graphs.
