Second law analysis of heat and hall effect of an oscillating plate in a porous medium

This paper reports calculation of the entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction on a porous plate for the conjugate problem of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of strong magnetic field by introducing the Hall currents. The momentum and energy balance equations are solved analytically, using perturbation technique. The fluid half-space is considered to be porous. The influences of the thermal Grashof numbers, heat generation/absorption and Hartmann number on total entropy generation were investigated, reported and discussed.
