Effect of Magnetic Field on an Unsteady Flow of a Dusty Viscous Fluid Between Two Infinite Plates Having Porous Medium

Abstract

The flow of a dusty viscous fluid between two infinite plates filled with porous medium is of great importance in the field of liquid metal, cooling of nuclear reactors, plasma confinement, electromagnetic casting, fluidization process, gas purification, sedimentation, pipe flow and transport process. In this paper the effect of inclined magnetic on the flow of a dusty fluid between two parallel plates having porous medium has been considered. After forming the governing equations of the flow under the assumed conditions and solving them using non-dimensional parameters, the expressions for the flow of fluid phase and dust phase have been found. Later on they have been used to draw the graphs between magnetic field and velocity of both phases .It has been found that velocity of dust phase decreases very rapidly while the velocity of fluid phase increases very slowly for every set of values.
