Abstract: | The effect of MHD on the total heat transfer from a porous fin attached to a vertical isothermal surface has been investigated. The Maxwell equations have been used, and also Rosseland approximation for radiation heat transfer and Darcy model for simulating the flow in porous medium have been adapted. The governing equations are reduced to a nonlinear ODE. The fin is supposed to be an infinite fin, which is exposed to a magnetic field. The dimensionless temperature profile, and the average Nusselt number profiles have been obtained for different Rayleigh numbers and porosities. Validation is carried out by comparing the results obtained in this study with those predicted by Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer model. |
