Effect of Heat Source on MHD Convective Flow of Non- Newtonian Fluid past an Oscillating Porous Plate in Porous Medium

Abstract

Introduction: An investigation was conducted to analyse the impact of unsteady flow caused by non-Newtonian fluid with magneto hydrodynamic properties on an oscillating plate made of porous material in a porous medium. The analysis of convective heat transfer included additional parameters such as electrically conducting unsteady flow-facing applied magnetic force. The Perturbation method was used to transform the governing equations into non-linear differential equations with utmost precision. Moreover, MATLAB was used to precisely evolve temperature and velocity profiles for different parameters such as Grashof number, Prandtl number, skin friction, magnetic parameter, and source/sink. The heat transfer rate was thoroughly evaluated and compiled using graphs and tables, guaranteeing the accuracy of the results.
