Abstract

The chapter delves into the phenomenon of mixed convection flow in a vertical porous medium channel, driven by thermal buoyancy and an external pressure gradient. It emphasizes the significance of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects on flow stability, particularly under a transverse magnetic field. The study employs linear stability analysis to examine the impact of various parameters, including the Hartmann number, Darcy number, and Rayleigh number, on flow instability. The results reveal that while the magnetic field tends to stabilize the flow, increased media permeability and thermal buoyancy can induce flow instabilities. The chapter offers valuable insights into the behavior of MHD mixed convection flows, which are crucial for applications in heat exchangers, nuclear reactors, and electronic equipment.
