EFFECT OF DUSTY VISCOELASTIC (RIVLIN-ERICKSEN) FLUID ON NHD FLOW THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM

摘要

The aim of present investigation is to study the effect of dusty viscoelastic (Rivlin-Ericksen) fluid on MHD flow through porous medium. The effects of Gr (Grashof number), M(Hartmann number), K (Porosity parameter), B (Dusty fluid parameter) and B_1 (Mass concentration of dust particle) on the velocity and skin friction are discussed with the help of tables and graphs. It is concluded that the velocity decreases with the increase in Gr, K, B and 61, but it increases with the increase in M.
