Thermal slip and variable viscosity analysis on heat rate and magnetic flux through accelerating non-conducting wedge in the presence of induced magnetic field

Abstract

The focus of present study is to incorporate the variable viscosity and temperature slip impact on heating rate and induced magnetic gradient along the moving non-conducting wedge under magnetic field. In industrial and engineering procedures, the impact of induced magnetization improves the efficiency of thermal systems to main the heating rates. The similarity transformations and stream functions are applied to reduce the governing equations into ordinary form. During this transformation, the pertinent parameters such as wedge parameter, moving parameter, Prandtl factor, viscosity parameter and temperature-slip parameter is obtained. These parameters play a prominent role on the physical values of fluid velocity, induced magnetic field and temperature distributions. The skin friction, Nusselt coefficient and induced magnetic gradient are incorporated through these parameters. The numerical values are executed by using the Keller box analysis with Newton–Raphson technique. It is depicted that the maximum slip in fluid velocity and temperature distribution is obtained for each values of thermal-slip parameter. It is noticed that maximum magnitude in induced magnetic field is reported for each wedge factor. The maximum velocity slip and temperature slip is observed for each choice of moving parameter. It is reported that the maximum variation in heating rate and induced magnetic gradient is obtained for magnetic force and viscosity parameter. The enhancing behavior of skin friction is observed for maximum values of Prandtl number.
