Inspection of thermal distribution through a porous fin of triangular profile with internal heat generation and electromagnetic field

Abstract

The transient thermal analysis of a triangular profiled longitudinal porous fin with the combined effect of magnetic and electric fields is explained in this article. The heat transmission through the porous fin is modeled by a time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE). The PDE and boundary conditions are transformed into a nonlinear dimensionless PDE with the aid of dimensionless terms. The numerical solution is obtained by using the technique of FDM (finite difference method). The consequences of non-dimensional thermoelectrical and thermomagnetic parameters, and other thermo-physical constraints including generation number, ambient temperature, radiation, and the convective parameter are also examined with the graphical explanations. The outcomes reveal that the emerging radiation, convective parameter, and dimensionless time parameter, faster the fin dissipate heat to the surrounding temperature. The presence of an electromagnetic field assists the triangular porous fin to distribute transient temperature effectively.
