Abstract
- In the present study, an analysis for steady hydromagnetic mixed convective generalised Couette flow between two infinite parallel plates of arbitrary electrical conductivities and finite thicknesses filled with a porous medium in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field in a rotating system with the Hall effect is presented. The heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flows are also investigated, taking viscous and Joule dissipations into account. Exact solutions of the resulting simultaneous ordinary differential equations governing the fluid flows are obtained in a closed form. The closed form analytical solutions for shear stress and mass flow rate are also obtained. To examine the physical consequences and flow characteristics, the numerical results for velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature field, shear stress, mass flow rate, and rate of heat transfer are computed for different values of various system parameters and are displayed in graphical and tabular forms. An interesting observation recorded that there arises flow reversal in the secondary flow direction when the permeability parameter is very small, i.e., when Darcian drag force is very large.
