Thermal Analysis of porous fin with uniform magnetic field using Adomian decomposition Sumudu transform method

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a Roseland approximation to radiate heat transfer, Darcy’s model to simulate the flow in porous media and finite-length fin with insulated tip to study the thermal performance and to predict the temperature distribution in a vertical isothermal surface. The energy balance equations of the porous fin with several temperature dependent properties are solved using the Adomian Decomposition Sumudu Transform Method (ADSTM). The effects of various thermophysical parameters, such as the convection-conduction parameter, Surface-ambient radiation parameter, Rayleigh numbers and Hartman number are determined. The results obtained from the ADSTM are further compared with the fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method and Least Square Method(LSM) (Hoshyar et al. 2016 [
