Abstract
This study aims to investigate the flow characteristics of mixed convection in a parallel plate channel filled with bidisperse porous medium (BDPM). The objective is to understand the effects of momentum slip and convective boundary conditions on the channel walls. A two-velocity two-temperature model is employed to analyze the flow and temperature distributions in both the fluid and solid phases. The governing equations are made dimensionless using appropriate similarity transformations. The Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is utilized to solve the resulting equations and analyze the velocity and temperature profiles. The influence of thermal radiation on temperature regulation is explored by controlling its intensity. The impact of the Biot number on enhancing the Nusselt number, a measure of convective heat transfer, is identified. Additionally, the study investigates the effects of various parameters on velocity, temperature, Nusselt number and skin friction. Graphical representations of these relationships are presented, and the findings are discussed comprehensively.
