Effect of Hall current on transient hydromagnetic Couette–Poiseuille flow of a viscoelastic fluid with heat transfer

The unsteady Couette–Poiseuille flow of an electrically conducting incompressible non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid between two parallel horizontal non-conducting porous plates is studied with heat transfer considering the Hall effect. A sudden uniform and constant pressure gradient, an external uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plates and uniform suction and injection through the surface of the plates are applied. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the Joule and viscous dissipations are taken into consideration. Numerical solutions for the governing momentum and energy equations are obtained using finite difference approximations. The effect of the Hall term, the parameter describing the non-Newtonian behavior, and the velocity of suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.     

Rotating disk flow and heat transfer through a porous medium of a non-Newtonian fluid with suction and injection

The steady flow of an incompressible viscous non-Newtonian fluid above an infinite rotating porous disk in a porous medium is studied with heat transfer. A uniform injection or suction is applied through the surface of the disk. Numerical solutions of the non-linear differential equations which govern the hydrodynamics and energy transfer are obtained. The effect of the porosity of the medium, the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid and the suction or injection velocity on the velocity and temperature distributions is considered. The inclusion of the three effects, the porosity, the non-Newtonian characteristics, and the suction or injection velocity together has shown some interesting effects.     

MHD free convective flow through porous medium in the presence of hall current, radiation and thermal diffusion

An unsteady free convective flow through porous media of viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid through a vertical porous channel with thermal radiation is studied. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the vertical channel. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed very small so that the induced magnetic field effect is negligible. The injection and suction velocity at both plates is constant and is given by v ₀. The pressure gradient in the channel varies periodically with time along the axis of the channel. The temperature difference of the plates is high enough to induce the radiative heat. Taking Hall current and Soret effect into account, equations of motion, energy, and concentration are solved. The effects of the various parameters, entering into the problem, on velocity, temperature and concentration field are shown graphically.

The influence of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on the transient Couette flow with heat transfer is studied. An external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the parallel plates and the Hall effect is taken into consideration. The fluid is acted upon by a constant pressure gradient. The two plates are kept at two constant but different temperatures and the viscous and Joule dissipations are considered in the energy equation. A numerical solution for the governing non-linear equations of motion and the energy equation is obtained.

Effect of Hall current on the unsteady MHD flow due to a rotating disk with uniform suction or injection

The unsteady flow of a viscous conducting fluid due to the rotation of an infinite, non-conducting, porous disk in the presence of an axial uniform steady magnetic field is studied without neglecting the Hall effect. The fluid is acted upon by a uniform injection or suction through the disk. The relevant equations are solved numerically with a special technique to resolve the conflict between the initial and boundary conditions. The solution shows that the inclusion of the injection or suction through the surface of the disk in addition to the Hall current gives some interesting results.     

Entropy generation under the effect of suction/injection

This work investigates entropy generation in a steady flow of viscous incompressible fluids between two infinite parallel porous plates. The fluid temperature variation is due to asymmetric heating of the porous plates as well as viscous dissipation. Two different physical situations are discussed with their entropy generation profiles: (i) Couette flow with suction/injection and (ii) pressure-driven Poiseuille flow with suction/injection. In each case, closed form expressions for entropy generation number and Bejan number are derived in dimensionless form by using the expressions for velocity and temperature which are derived by solving the resulting momentum and energy equations by the method of undetermined coefficient. The effect of the governing parameters on velocity, temperature, entropy generation and Bejan number are extensively discussed with the help of graphs. It is interesting to remark that entropy generation number increases with suction on one porous plate while it decreases on the other porous plate with injection.

Couette flow of a stratified fluid with suction varying along a boundary

A viscous incompressible fluid between two plane boundaries is stratified by maintaining the planes at different temperatures. The upper plane moves with a uniform velocity. The suction/injection mechanism with constant injection velocity at the upper plane and suction velocity varying sinusoidally along the lower plane with a wave numberk is introduced at the boundaries. The steady linearised equations are solved using similarity variables for the velocity components. The wave numberk is shown to be effective in controlling the boundary layer thickness.     

Hydromagnetic flow near an accelerated plate with suction

The two-dimensional unsteady flow of a conducting viscous incompressible fluid past, an infinite flat plate with uniform suction, is considered in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. For a constant time, it is shown that for a given Hartmann numbera, as the cross Reynolds number β (corresponding to the suction velocity of the plate) increases, the velocity at any point of the fluid decreases and the skin friction at the plate increases. The results also hold good for a given β, asa increases if the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the fluid and are just opposite for the magnetic lines of force fixed relative to the plate.

Effect of the chemical reaction and radiation absorption on the unsteady MHD free convection flow past a semi infinite vertical permeable moving plate with heat source and suction

Analytical solutions for heat and mass transfer by laminar flow of a Newtonian, viscous, electrically conducting and heat generation/absorbing fluid on a continuously vertical permeable surface in the presence of a radiation, a first-order homogeneous chemical reaction and the mass flux are reported. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface, which absorbs the fluid with a suction velocity varying with time. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of both phases based on the analytical solutions are presented and discussed.

The governing partial differential equation for the flow has been established. The mathematical analysis is presented for the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow neglecting the induced magnetic field. The effect of presence of the material constants of the second order fluid on the velocity field is discussed.     

Three-dimensional Couette flow of a dusty fluid with heat transfer

This work is focused on the mathematical modeling of three-dimensional Couette flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel porous flat plates. The problem is formulated using a continuum two-phase model and the resulting equations are solved analytically. The lower plate is stationary while the upper plate is undergoing uniform motion in its plane. These plates are, respectively, subjected to transverse exponential injection and its corresponding removal by constant suction. Due to this type of injection velocity, the flow becomes three dimensional. The closed-form expressions for velocity and temperature fields of both the fluid and dust phases are obtained by solving the governing partial differential equations using the perturbation method. A selective set of graphical results is presented and discussed to show interesting features of the problem.     

Couette flow of a non-homogeneous fluid

The two dimensional Couette flow of a non-homogeneous viscous fluid is studied. The plane boundaries of the channel are maintained at different temperatures. The upper plane moves with a uniform horizontal velocity and the lower plane is at rest. The fluid is subjected to suction and injection at the boundaries. Thesteady equations are solved by introducing similarity variables which are expanded in series of powers of a small stratification parameter. The non-linear theory predicts that the temperature depends on the distancex from the throat section, an observation which is not predicted by the linear theory. The non-linear effects on velocity and temperature are studied. The rate of heat transfer is discussed.     

On the hydromagnetic flow between two parallel,porous plates

This paper deals with the two-dimensional unsteady flow of a conducting viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel, porous plates, one of which is fixed, while the other is uniformly accelerated, when there is a transverse magnetic field. It is shown that, for a given Hartmann number M, as suction parameter β increases, the velocity at any point of the fluid increases, the Skin friction at the stationary plate increases, while that at the accelerated plate decreases. The results are true, as time T increases, for given Hartmann number M and the suction parameter β. The results also hold good for a given β, as M increases when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the plate, while they are just opposite for the magnetic lines of force fixed relative to the fluid.
