Abstract
AbstractThis article examines the entropy generation in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of Newtonian fluid (water) under the effect of applied magnetic in the absence of an induced magnetic field. More precisely, the flow of water is considered past an accelerated plate such that the fluid is receiving constant heating from the initial plate. The fluid disturbance away from the plate is negligible, therefore, the domain of flow is considered as semi-infinite. The flow and heat transfer problem is considered in terms of differential equations with physical conditions and then the corresponding equations for entropy generation and Bejan number are developed. The problem is solved for exact solutions using the Laplace transform and finite difference methods. Results are displayed in graphs and tables and discussed for embedded flow parameters. Results showed that the magnetic field has a strong influence on water flow, entropy generation, and Bejan number.
