A Mathematical Investigation of Flow of Third Grade Fluid in Channel Filled with Porous Media with Heat Source

Abstract

In this study on flow of third grade fluid in channel filled with porous media in the presence of heat generation, the researcher considered and analyzed the effects thermo-physical parameters involved the momentum and energy equations. The nonlinear momentum and energy equations arising from the flow regime is solved analytically using perturbation technique. Explicit expression for the velocity field and energy balance have been obtained Results show that a little increase in the third grade parameterß , Grashof number,G, and the magnetic field parameter,M, reduces the velocity of fluid flow but enhances the temperature of the system greatly.
