Effects of Porosity and Mixed Convection on MHD Two Phase Fluid Flow in an Inclined Channel

Abstract: The present study deals with the flow and heat transfer analysis of two immiscible fluids in an inclined channel embedded in a porous medium. The channel is divided in two phases such that a third grade fluid occupies the phase I and a viscous fluid occupies the phase II. Both viscous and third grade fluids are electrically conducting. A constant magnetic field is imposed perpendicular to the channel walls. The mathematical model is developed by using Darcy's and modified Darcy's laws for viscous and third gra… Show more

“…Aaiza et al [ 4 ], further pointed out that in mixed convection energy transfer, the buoyancy force is responsible for free convection and at least one of the two, non-homogeneous boundary conditions on velocity or external pressure gradient results forced convection. Amongst the important studies on mixed convection energy transfer, we include here the attempts those made by Kumari et al [ 5 ], Tiwari and Das [ 6 ], Chamkha et al [ 7 ], Sheikhzadeh et al [ 8 ], Prasad et al [ 9 ], Hasnain et al [ 10 ] and Ganapathirao et al [ 11 ]. However, most of these studies on energy transfer were focused in simple geometrical configurations.…”

“…(1) Te porous medium is rigid, isotropic, and homogeneous with porosity "k i ," i � 1 for region I and i � 2 region II and the drag force due to porous media, governed by Darcy law [39,40]. (2) Te fow in both the regions is driven by a common constant pressure gradient.…”

“…Te law about fow through porous media, as found by Darcy via experimentation, is the corner-stone in the feld of transport in porous media. Darcy's law relates the volume fux u[ms − 1 ] with the force driving the fow [27,39,40], as follows:…”

“…Entropy generation for compressible radiative MHD fluid flow in a channel partially filled with porous material was reported by Jain et al 11 . Hasnain et al 12 provided solutions for MHD two-phase mixed convection fluid flow in an inclined channel filled with porous medium. Pattnaik et al 13 derived analytic solutions for natural convection flow with porosity and MHD effects by inculcating time-dependent concentration and temperature at the boundary.…”
