HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW OF DUSTY FLUID WITH HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PAST A STRETCHING CURVED SURFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM

Abstract

steady two-phase fluid flow over a curved elongating sheet with dust particles has been scrutinized. Influence of volume fraction, applied magnetic field on the flow over a porous medium has been studied. Some of the applications of dusty fluid past an elongating curved surface are thermal design of curved reactors, aerosol droplets, smoke emission through curvy pipes, float glass production and many more. Using similarity transformations, multivaria-ble functions having partial derivatives in the prob-lem for both fluid and dust phases are transmuted into ordinary differential equations. Then, emerging non-linear differential equations are formulated nu-merically by employing MATLAB built-in bvp4c solver scheme. Shapes of momentum, thermal and mass boundary layers have been shown by graphical forms for various values of flow parameters. Friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are calculated and given in tabular forms.
