In the present analysis, the influence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction and thermal-diffusion on hydromagnetic pulsating flow of Casson fluid in a porous channel is investigated. The fluid is injected from the lower wall and sucked out from the upper wall with the same velocity. The governing flow equations are solved analytically by employing the perturbation technique. The influence of various emerging parameters on flow variables has been discussed. The obtained results show that the temperature distribution increases when there is an increase in heat source, whereas there is a decrease in temperature with an increase in radiation parameter. The concentration distribution decreases with an increase in chemical reaction parameter, while it increases for a given increase in Soret number. Further, the results reveal that, for both the Newtonian and non-Newtonian cases, Nusselt number distribution decreases at the upper wall with increasing Hartmann number and radiation parameter. The mass transfer rate decreases at the upper wall with increasing chemical reaction parameter and Soret number.

Pulsating flow of Casson fluid in a porous channel with thermal radiation, chemical reaction and applied magnetic field

The influence of elasticity of flexible walls on peristaltic transport of a dusty fluid with heat and mass transfer in a horizontal channel in the presence of chemical reaction has been investigated under long wavelength approximation. Expressions have been constructed for stream function, temperature and concentration by using perturbation technique. The effects of various parameters on heat and mass transfer characteristics of the flow are discussed through graphs.

Heat transfer - a review of 1993 literature

The flow due to the pulsatile pressure gradient of dusty non-Newtonian fluid with heat transfer in a channel is considered. The system is stressed by an external magnetic field. The non-Newtonian fluid under consideration is obeying the rheological equation of state due to Ree-Eyring’s stress–strain relation. The equations of momentum and energy have been solved by using Lightill method. The velocity and temperature distributions of the two phase of the dusty fluid are obtained. The effects of various physical parameters of distributions the problem on these distributions are discussed and illustrated graphically through a set of figure.
