Heat transfer on MHD oscillatory flow in a vertical double-passage channel
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Thermal propagation of MHD oscillatory flow of optically thin fluid in a vertical double-passage with varying temperature was investigated. The thermal distribution of the fluid flow is enhanced through a perfectly thin conductive baffle, which divides the channel into two passages. The equations governing the fluid flow are formulated based on purely oscillatory flow with pressure gradient. The flow velocity and thermal equations governing the flow are analytically solved. The closed-form results gotten were analysed for the influences of Reynolds number, magnetic term, thermal convection term, Peclet number and frequency of oscillation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics with the aid of graphs. It was observed that magnetic parameter reduces the flow rate in the channel.
