Abstract

Natural convection flow of unsteady Maxwell fluid with the effects of constant magnetic force in the course of a porous media is investigated in this research work. Fluid motion between a channel of parallel plates is tempted by time dependent shear stress applied on one plate. The governing partial differential equations of a model under consideration are transformed into ordinary differential equations by Laplace transform method and then solved for temperature and velocity fields. The obtained results for temperature fields are expressed in terms of complementary error function. The influences of involved parameters likes Hartmann number, Grashf number, Prandlt number and porosity parameter, on temperature and velocity profiles are shown graphically. There is no such result regarding Maxwell fluid in the existing literature.

Summary

Introduction

Free convection flow of Maxwell fluid subject to the magnetic field (MHD) through a porous medium has remarkable applications in engineering industry. Fluids flow under the influence of magnetic force has several uses in field of science industry, such as: thermal and nuclear power generation, pumping the liquids and gases, manufacturing of electric pump and many others [4] [5]. Sultan et al [26] have made the clarification for flow of generalized Burgers fluid through channel of parallel walls subject to rectified sine pulses stress with the existence of uniform magnetic field. The flow of unsteady MHD Maxwell fluid flow embedded porous medium in channel of two side plates, is considered. According to our best knowledge, this piece of research work is still not considered in the existing literature
