Analytical solution of MHD free convective flow of couple stress fluid in an annulus with Hall and ion-slip effects
This paper presents the Hall and Ion-slip effects on electrically conducting couple stress fluid flow between two circular cylinders in the presence of a temperature dependent heat source. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the magnetic parameter, Hall parameter, Ion-slip parameter and couple stress fluid parameter on velocity and temperature are discussed and shown graphically
Mixed Convection Flow of Couple Stress Fluid in a Vertical Channel with Radiation and Soret Effects
The radiation and thermal diffusion effects on mixed convection flow of couple stress fluid through a channel
are investigated. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of
ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are then solved using
the Spectral Quasi-linearization Method (QLM). The results, which are discussed with the aid of the
dimensionless parameters entering the problem, are seen to depend sensitively on the parameters
