| Summary: | This paper studies the effect of variable viscosity on the
transient Couette flow of dusty fluid with heat transfer between
parallel plates. The fluid is acted upon by a constant pressure
gradient and an external uniform magnetic field is applied
perpendicular to the plates. The parallel plates are assumed to be
porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection
from below. The upper plate is moving with a uniform velocity
while the lower is kept stationary. The governing nonlinear
partial differential equations are solved numerically and some
important effects for the variable viscosity and the uniform
magnetic field on the transient flow and heat transfer of both the
fluid and dust particles are indicated. |
