• ENTROPY ANALYSIS IN UNSTEADY MHD FLOW AND RADIATIVE HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM ALONG A VERTICAL POROUS PLATE IN THE PRESENCE OF VISCOUS DISSIPATION

Abstract

Effects of magnetic field, radiation on the entropy generation in unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium along a vertical porous plate in the presence of viscous dissipation have been studied in the present paper. The nonlinear governing differential equations are solved numerically using Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference method. Numerical results of; the velocity and temperature fields are utilized to compute the entropy generation number.
