Impact of Suction/Injection on Magnetized Free Convection Affected by Thermal Property: A Numerical Approach
In boundary layer control, especially in engineering, aerodynamics, space research, and medicine, suction/injection factors are very crucial. These advantages prompted our interest to dig further into the effect of wall porosity in industrial working fluids. Therefore, this paper analyses unsteady magnetized flow through an upstanding plate with the involvement of suction/injection flow, buoyancy force and temperature dependent thermal property. The nonlinear partial differential equations for momentum and energy are modelled using a semi implicit finite difference scheme, while the analytical equations of the steady-state equations were calculated employing the regular perturbation technique. The solutions obtained were presented and discussed in detail using various line graphs. It is concluded that the injection parameter promotes fluid velocity, while higher suction and magnetic parameters values lead to a drastic reduction in fluid movement respectively. The findings from this research would be helpful for controlling fluid flow in vertical channels as well as aiding the addition and removal of reactants during chemical reactions.
