Heat transfer effects on free convection viscous dissipation flow past an inclined plate.

The present study has analyzed the viscous dissipation effects on magneto hydrodynamic nanofluid along a plate inclined at an angle α in a permeable medium subject to uniform heat and mass flux. The perturbation technique is implied to solve the governing equations and to discuss the details of the pertinent of parameters effects. In addition to water as its base fluid a Copper (Cu) nano particle has been exclusively chosen. The combined effects of Eckert number and magnetic parameter on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed. The obtained results for the effects of Prandtl number, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, nano particle volume fraction viscous dissipation and porous medium parameter on velocity, temperature and concentration are examined diagrammatically.
