摘要

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) devices are merely one of the many uses for natural convection flow research in industries, science, and technology involving electrically conducting fluids in microchannels. The consequences of an exponential heat source parameter in the presence of an MHD in a vertical micro-channel with fluid movement were examined. One plate received both the temperature rise and the super-hydrophobic slip, whereas the other plate does not have any slip. For case I, which represents the super-hydrophobic surface (SHS) being heated, and case II, denoting the physical scenario when a no-slip surface (NSS) is being heated. The governing equations were solved analytically. A visual representation shows that temperature and velocity have an increasing effect with the rise of the exponential heat source parameter (Qs), while the fluid velocity decreases in both cases with the impact of MHD. The effect of MHD reduces volume flow rate in cases I and II, while volume flow rate rises with the consequence of exponential heat-generating parameter (Qs). Additionally, it was observed that there was a surge in the skin friction in the presence of SHS and Qs but a decrease on NSS in both cases. These findings have important implications for various applications, including heat transfer enhancement, precise temperature control, compact design, energy efficiency, and rapid processing times.
