ANALYSIS OF THREE DIMENSIONAL COUETTE FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN POROUS MEDIUM BETWEEN TWO PERMEABLE PLATES WITH SINUSOIDAL TEMPERATURE AND MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

This paper constitutes the analysis of three dimensional couette flow and heat transfer through porous medium under magnetic field. There are two permeable plates in the porous medium, viz., stationery plate and moving plate. The stationery plate is maintained at sinusoidal surface temperature while the moving plate is kept at uniform injection velocity under isothermal condition. The expressions for velocity and temperature fields are obtained. With this, skin-friction components and Nusselt number at both the plates will be derived and are plotted against Reynolds number.
