Abstract

This research paper focuses on the problem of magneto-hydrodynamic mixed convections in a porous medium embedded in a vertical channel with a vertical axial variation of temperature in the upward direction along the wall. We provide a Galerkin Weighted Residual Method (GWRM) to the solution of the coupled ordinary differential equations of momentum and heat transfer. Results obtained were analyzed using tables and graphs and the effect of the thermophysical parameters arising from the flow were studied and it is seen to be in good agreement with Literature.
