| description | This study is devoted to investigate the influence of transverse magnetic field as well as suction/injection on MHD natural convection flow of conducting fluid in an inclined micro-porous-channel. The analytical solutions for velocity profile and temperature profile have been obtained considering the velocity slip and temperature jump conditions at the micro-porous-channel walls. The solution obtained for the velocity has been used to compute the skin friction, while the temperature has been used to compute the Nusselt number. The effect of various flow parameters entering into the problem are discussed with the aid of line graphs. Results reveal that the impact of inclination angle on fluid velocity is dependent on the value of the wall ambient temperature difference ratio, hence increase in inclination angle yields an enhancement in fluid velocity within the micro-porous-channel for some selected values of the wall ambient temperature difference ratio whereas it displays a dual character for other values. Also, injecting through the micro-porous channel thickens the thermal boundary layer, resulting to weakening the convective current and consequently decreasing the fluid velocity whereas suction weakens the thermal boundary layer yielding an increase in fluid velocity. |
