Study on Thin Film Mass Flow and Heat Transfer Over an Inclined Plate

Abstract

he study investigates the dynamics of thin film flow over an inclined plane, with a focus on the influence of magnetic parameters and instability factors on fluid behavior. By employing numerical solutions to the governing equations using the Runge-Kutta method, the research explores the variations in film thickness, surface velocity, temperature profiles, and wall shear stress under different magnetic conditions. Key findings indicate that increasing the s parameter leads to a decrease in film viscosity and a consistent alteration in film thickness. The results also demonstrate the significant impact of s parameters on the thermal boundary layer, suggesting practical implications for applications in coating technologies and microfluidic devices. Comparative analysis with previous studies validates the consistency and reliability of the obtained result.
