Abstract

The problem of magnetohydrodynamic free convective heat transfer mechanism across a laminar, round, vertical, and thermally stratified jet is examined. The boundary layer equations are non-dimensionalized, and then, using the primitive variable formulation, the finite difference method is used to find the numerical solution of the problem. The impact of Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, and stratification parameter on velocity distribution, temperature profile, and heat transfer rate is explained graphically and in tabular form. It is found that for increasing values of thermal stratification parameter S, the velocity profile increases while temperature distribution and rate of heat transfer decrease. Similarly, with an increase in the values of Prandtl number, velocity, and temperature distribution decrease, but the rate of heat transfer increases.
