S. Das, B. C. Sarkar, R. N. Jana . Entropy Generation in MHD Free Convective Boundary Layer Flow Past an Inclined Flat Plate Embedded in a Porous Medium with Hall Currents. International Journal of Computer Applications. 84, 9 ( December 2013), 36-46. DOI=10.5120/14608-2875
An analysis of entropy generation in an MHD boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an inclined flat plate embedded in a porous media in a rotating system with Hall currents has been presented. The governing equations describing the flow have been solved analytically. The velocity field, induced magnetic field, shear stress and bulk temperature in the boundary layer flow have been discussed with the help of graphs. The entropy generation is estimated via an analytical solution of the temperature and velocity profiles obtained from the momentum and energy equations governing the flow. The Bejan number is also obtained and discussed.
