In this paper, analysis has been conducted to investigate the effects of couple stresses and internal heat generation on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection channel flow with steady-periodic heat input. By applying the steady-periodic heating assumptions, the flow-governing equations driving the fluid system are reduced to boundary-value problems and solved by a convergent successive approximation. The result of the computation shows that the skin friction at the lower wall decreases with increasing values of the couple stress parameter while it enhances the heat transfer rate. Keywords: MHD, Natural convection, Couple stress fluid, Periodic heating, Internal heat generation |
