Abstract
AbstractFlow fields, thermal fields, and entropy generation have been investigated for fully developed mixed convection flow between two vertical porous plates. The vertical channel is partially filled by a porous medium, and channel walls are subjected to a constant injection velocity at the left wall and constant suction velocity at the right wall. The viscous dissipation effects and velocity slip for the longitudinal component of the velocity at the channel walls are also taken into account. The momentum and energy equations for the mixed convection problem in the vertical channel are solved by means of the perturbation series method, by taking perturbation parameter proportional to the Brinkman number. For the present problem, numerical solution is also obtained and compared with the analytical solution. The effects of various pertinent parameters on the velocity distribution, temperature distribution, entropy generation rate, and Bejan number are investigated and discussed graphically.
