Abstract
This work applies second law of thermodynamics to analyse the effect of radiation on electrically conducting couple stress fluid through a channel. A constant magnetic field is introduced across the flow channel and the resulting Navier- Stokes and energy equations are non-dimensionalized and solved using Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and differential transform method (DTM). The obtained velocity and temperature profiles are used to calculate the entropy generation rate and irreversibility ratio. The effects of radiation, magnetic field and couple stress parameters on the velocity, temperature, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are discussed with the aid of graphs. From the study, it is observed that increase in magnetic field and couple stress parameters reduces the fluid velocity while an increase in radiation parameter reduces the temperature of the fluid. Furthermore, radiation parameter increases entropy generation as heat transfer dominates irreversibility.
