| Beschreibung: | This study explores the mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid across a parallel plate, considering the influence of an applied magnetic field, thermal radiation, and viscous dissipation. The equations governing the flow of the fluid are described as Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and Finite Difference Method (FDM) is used to obtain numerical solutions. Numerical investigations were conducted to examine the effect of parameters in the flow of the fluid i.e. on the velocity, temperature and concentration with the aid of graphs. Efficient heat transfer is critical in designing heat management systems for various industrial applications, where the heat transfer rate may need to be increased or decreased to optimize heating or cooling processes. Additionally, the findings are significant because the wall material's thermal properties depend on the cooling or heating rates during the production of metal or polymer sheets. Radiative effects and viscous dissipation contribute to higher temperature distributions and the expansion of the thermal boundary layer. Radiation particularly enhances heat generation in fluids, increasing their temperature, especially at elevated temperatures where it directly impacts heat transfer and temperature distribution. In the boundary layer, where transport phenomena oppose each other, the magnetic field becomes the dominant factor. The study further demonstrates that an applied magnetic field increases the fluid temperature profile while reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls. |
