Numerical analysis of electromagnetic squeezing flow through a parallel porous medium plate with impact of suction/injection

Abstract

Over the years, the squeezing fluid motion between parallel plates has generated the research interest in many investigators due to its various engineering and industrial applications such as injection modeling, compression and polymer process industry. With these motivations, in the current article, the transient state electro-osmotic squeezing propulsion of viscous liquid between two parallel plates through a porous medium with the impact of radiative heat flux has been examined. The applied magnetic field inclination angle ranges from 0 to 90 degrees and moving closer together causes the plates to squeeze one another orthogonal to the plates’ surfaces. Through the suitable similarity transformations, the nonlinear partial differential equations characterizing the proposed flow model are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The numerical findings were achieved via MATLAB software. It is determined that the applied electric and magnetic field have the impact on the velocity and heat transfer of squeezing flows. Increasing the electroosmosis parameter as well as the electric field parameters have a considerable effect on temperature augmentation. The results of the current study can be used in various industrial applications such as chemical engineering, hydraulic lifts, polymer processing and power transmission.
