Abstract
AbstractThis study is devoted to investigate the effect of magnetic field on a reactive unsteady generalized Couette flow with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity. It is assumed that conducting incompressible fluid is subjected to an exothermic reaction under Arrhenius kinetics, neglecting the consumption of the material. The model nonlinear differential equations governing the transient momentum and energy balance are obtained and tackled numerically using a semi-discretization finite difference technique coupled with Runge-Kutta Fehlberg integration scheme. Important properties of the velocity and temperature fields including thermal stability conditions are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively.
