THERMO DIFFUSION EFFECT ON HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER COUETTE FLOW THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM WITH FINE DUST

Abstract

This paper deals with the effects of Soret and dusty fluid on a Couette flow confined between two porous plates. The fluid taken is a viscous, incompressible dust laden. The dust particles are assumed to be very fine and hence chemically inert. The flow model is described by two phase equations comprising equations of momentum, diffusion equation and energy equation. The governing partial differential equations are converted into dimensionless equations. The impact of various physical parameters are solved analytically to determine all the important flow characteristics
