Abstract

This paper discusses fully developed flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid in a horizontal channel through a porous medium, for which the Darcy model is used. The channel walls are horizontal plates at constant but different temperatures. The externally applied magnetic field is homogeneous, perpendicular to the channel walls, and moving at constant velocity in the direction of primary nanofluid flow. The external electric field is homogeneous and perpendicular to the vertical longitudinal plane of the channel. Nanofluid velocity and temperature distributions for different values of the introduced physical parameters were determined and shown graphically. The obtained results were analyzed, emphasizing the possibilities of managing nanofluid flow and heat transfer.
