Abstract
The effect of magnetic field on unsteady convective diffusion in a couple stress fluid (blood) is studied using a time dependent dispersion model. This model is used to calculate the mean concentration distribution of a solute, bounded by the porous layer and is expressed as a function of dimensionless axial distance and time. The magnetic field, arising as a body couple in the governing equations is shown to increase the axis dispersion coefficient. This is useful to the control of haemolysis caused by artificial organs implanted or extracorporeal. Dispersion coefficient and mean concentration are computed for different values of Hartmann number (M), Couple Stress Parameter (a) and Porous Parameter (σ).
