The present analysis is focused on free convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of magneto-nanofluid flow through a moving vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation and thermal diffusion. The water-based nanofluid containing copper is taken into consideration. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plate. The governing equations are solved by applying finit...

Hall effects on combined free and forced convective flow of a viscous-elastic incompressible electrically conducting fluid between the horizontal perfectly conducting plates under the action of a uniform transverse magnetic field applied parallel to the axis of rotation is studied. Exact solution of the governing equation is obtained in closed form. It is observed that Hall current exerts stabi...

We investigate the problem of free convection heat transfer near an isothermal stretching sheet. This has been done under the simultaneous action of buoyancy, radiation, and transverse magnetic field. The governing equations are solved by the shooting method. The velocity and temperature functions are represented graphically for various values of the flow parameters: radiation parameter F, free...

Constitutive equations for electrorheological (ER) fluids have been based on experimental results for steady shearing flows and constant electric fields. The fluids have been modeled as being rigid until a yield stress is reached. Additional stress is then proportional to the shear rate. Recent experimental results indicate that ER materials have a regime of solid-like response when deformed fr...

this paper presents a novel formulation and numerical solutions for adhesively bonded composite joints with non-linear (softening) adhesive behaviour. the presented approach has the capability of choosing arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. in this model adherends are orthotropic laminates that obey classical lamination theory. the stacking sequences can be either symmetric or asymmetri...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the unsteady hydromagnetic incompressible viscous fluid flow through a porous medium in a horizontal channel under prescribed discharge, under the influence of inclined magnetic field. The undisturbed flow is due to a constant pressure gradient and the unsteadiness in the flow is created by imposing a time – dependent flux condition. The solutions for the ve...

Hall effects on the unsteady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid bounded by an infinite flat porous plate in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field has been analyzed. Initially ( ) the fluid at infinity moves with uniform velocity . At time , the plate suddenly moves with uniform velocity in the direction of the flow. The velocity field and ...

The oscillatory flow of blood through a stenosed artery is investigated in this paper in presence of magnetic field. The laminar, incompressible, fully developed, Newtonian flow of blood in an artery having mild stenosis is numerically studied under the action of transverse magnetic field and the numerical results are obtained for the oscillatory flow of blood using Shooting method. It is assum...

The present study aims to identify flow characteristics and heat transfer due to the body acceleration for blood through an porous artery exposed to a vibration environment. Blood flow is considered here to be governed by the equation of a Newtonian fluid model. Oscillatory flow in a porous channel is considered in this study. It pertains to a situation when the flow takes place between two por...

Observations show that plasma crystals, suspended in the sheath of a radio-frequency discharge, rotate under the influence of a vertical magnetic field. Depending on the discharge conditions, two different cases are observed: a rigid-body rotation (all the particles move with a constant angular velocity) and sheared rotation (the angular velocity of particles has a radial distribution). When th...
