Effects on MHD Flow of Oldroyd-B Fluid in a Porous Space via G-Jitter Combined with Heat and Mass Transfer

Abstract:

The effects of stimulated g-jitter which come together with heat and mass transfer by mixed convection in microgravity situation on MHD flow of Oldroyd - B fluid in porous space is investigated for a particular system. The system comprises of a pair of heated up perpendicular parallel infinite plates maintained at constant although various concentrations and temperatures. By using modified Darcy’s law, the equations governing the flow are modelled. These equations are solved exactly for the distributions of stimulated velocity, temperature and concentration. Interestingly the solutions for second grade and Maxwell fluids are recovered as new limiting cases of the present general results. Similar result in the relevant literature relating to Newtonian fluid is also obtained as a special case of the present solution. Finally particular attention is given to the graphical results for the velocity profiles of the oscillating flow in the channel. The analysis on the variations of embedded flow parameters in the solution expressions are presented and discussed.
