Heat transfer with radiation and temperature dependent heat source in MHD free convection flow in a porous medium between two vertical wavy walls

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the two dimensional heat transfer of a free convective MHD flow with radiation and temperature dependent heat source of a viscous incompressible fluid in a porous medium between two vertical wavy walls. The flow is assumed to consist of a mean part and a perturbed part. The perturbed quantities are expressed in terms of exponential series for short wave-length. The resultant differential equations are solved by Differential Transform Method (DTM). The numerical computations are presented graphically to show the salient features of the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. The skin friction and Nusselt number are also analyzed for variation of governing parameters.
