Hydromagnetic Second-Order Fluid Flow in a Channel with Fluid -Particle Suspension and Viscous Dissipation

Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of unsteady flow and heat transfer of second-order fluid with fluid-particle suspension in a vertical channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field with viscous dissipation. The fluid is driven by a constant pressure gradient. The governing partial differential equations are converted in to ordinary differential equation by similarity transformation and solved analytically. The expressions for velocity, temperature, skin friction and heat transfer are obtained. The numerical results depicting the effects of visco-elasticity in combination with other flow parameters involved in the problem are presented graphically and discussed qualitatively.
