Abstract


In this work, influence of Lorentz force on the thermal behaviour of convective-radiative porous fin subjected to magnetic field using differential transform method is analyzed. The developed symbolic heat transfer model is used to investigate the effects of convective, radiative, magnetic parameters on the thermal performance of the porous fin. From the study, it is found that increase in magnetic field, porosity, convective, radiative and parameters increase the rate of heat transfer from the fin and consequently improve the efficiency of the fin. The differential transform method used in the work is validated with the results of numerical method and homotopy analysis method. The DTM results are in excellent agreement with the results of the numerical methods and that of the homotopy analysis method.
