Entropy generation and heat transport analysis of Casson fluid flow with viscous and Joule heating in an inclined porous microchannel

The combined effects of the magnetic field, suction/injection, and convective boundary condition on heat transfer and entropy generation in an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow through an inclined porous microchannel are scrutinized. The temperature-dependent heat source is also accounted. Numerical simulation for the modelled problem is presented via Runge-Kutta-Felhberg-based shooting technique. Special attention is given to analyze the impact of involved parameters on the profiles of velocity (u(eta)), temperature (theta(eta)), entropy generation (Ns), and Bejan number (Be). It is established that entropy generation rate decreases at the walls with an increase in Hartmann number (M), while it increases at the center region of the microchannel.
