Effects of viscous dissipation, internal heat source/sink and Prandtl number on flow and heat transfer in a moving fluid over a moving flat surface with an applied magnetic field

Abstract

The goal of this study is to see how heat sources and sinks, as well as viscous dissipation, affect natural convection magneto hydrodynamic flow of an incompressible moving fluid across a moving flat surface. Using partial differential equation similarity finding, additional momentum and energy equations were altered into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Keller box technique is a finite difference system that produces the desired results. The influences of movement, internal heat source/sink, Prandtl number, Eckert number and MHD parameter are clearly seen on the velocity and temperature outlines. The thermal boundary layer thickness is influenced by heat source/sink, Prandtl number and viscous dissipation.
