Heat and Mass MHD Convection of Nanofluid through an Inclined Permeable Channel with Thermal Radition

Abstract

Heat and Mass MHD convection of nanofluid is examined over an inclined porous channel with thermal radiation. Coupled partial differential equations were obtained for the momentum and temperature in view of the problem. These equations were analytically so lved. The equations were converted to ordinary differential equations through a one term perturbation technique. The exact solutions for the ordinary differential equations were obtained and plotted to ascertain the effects of parameters variations on the velocity and temperature profiles. The effects of parameters variations were noted from the plots. It noted that increasing the magnetic field parameter and solutal Grashof number reduces and increases the velocity of the nanofluid respectively. Increase in the thermal radiation reduces the temperature while increase in the Peclet number correspondingly increases the temperature of the nanofluid.
