ENTROPY GENERATION ANALYSIS OF MAGNETIZED MICROPOLAR FLUID STREAMING ABOVE AN EXPONENTIALLY EXTENDING PLANE

Abstract

Numerical procedure of solving boundary value problems using MATLAB software has been applied to study the irreversibilies caused by magnetized micropolar fluid streaming above an extending surface. The factors responsible for irreversibilities are thermal and concentration distributions, Lorentz force etc. The entropy generation rates are shown pictorially through some figures and irreversibilities are shown in tabular form.
