Abstract
Abstract The entropy generation rate in a vertical porous channel with injection and suction walls and a uniform magnetic field provided at an angle to the flow direction is studied using an analytical perturbation technique in the presence of Navier slip and buoyancy force. The momentum and energy equations were solved for exemplary values of fluid convection's physical characteristics. Important parameters' impacts on adequate numbers are graphically portrayed and conveyed.
