Abstract

In this work, the combined impacts of magnetohydrodynamics and fin surface inclination on thermal performance of convective-radiative porous fin with temperature-invariant thermal conductivity is numerically study using finite difference method. Parametric studies reveal that as the inclination of fin, convective, radiative, magnetic and porous parameters increase, the adimensional fin temperature decreases which leads to an increase in the heat transfer rate through the fin and the thermal efficiency of the porous fin. It is established thatthe porous fin is more efficient and effective for low values of convective, inclination angle, radiative, magnetic and porous parameters. The thermal performance ratio of the fin increases with the porosity parameter.
