- Abstract
This study considers second law analysis of hydromagnetic couple stress fluid through a channel filled with non-Darcian porous medium. We assumed that the fluid exchanges heat with the ambient following Newtonian law. The governing non-linear equations of the fluid flow were formulated and nondimensionalised. A semi-analytical solution of the dimensionless momentum and energy equations are obtained using Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and differential transform method (DTM). The approximate solutions are utilized to compute the entropy generation and the Bejan numbers. The effects of pertinent flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, entropy generation and the Bejan numbers are presented and discussed graphically.
