INFLUENCE OF INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD AND HEAT TRANSFER ON FLOW OF UNSTEADY DUSTY POROUS CHANNEL
A comprehensive mathematical analysis has been presented to study the heat transfer characteristics of an unsteady dusty fluid in presence of inclined magnetic field. The fluid flow is considered between dual infinite flat plates saturated with porous medium. Suitable non-dimensionalised quantities are invoked to convert the set of partial differential equations which governs the flow. Results are exhibited both analytically and numerically by employing Laplace transform and Crank-Nicolson schemes. Further, numerical values of skin-friction and Nusselt number coefficient are presented in tabular form which respectively gives the wall shear stress and rate of heat transfer and displayed graphically. Consideration of parallel plates has been justified by specifying its advantages. The physical outcomes concerning the effects of various pertinent parameters like porous parameter, magnetic parameter, inclined angle, Grashof number, heat source parameter, volume fraction of dust particles, Prandtl number on different flow fields in the open literature are analyzed graphically and tabularly.
