Abstract

Effects of pressure gradient and temperature gradient on separation of a binary mixture of incompressible viscous fluids in two dimensional magnetohydrodynamics stagnation point flow have been investigated. The numerical solutions of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations have been obtained and exhibited graphically. It has been found that the effects of the pressure gradient and temperature gradient are to separate the components of the binary mixture. The lighter component gets collected near the stationary plate.

Keywords

barodiffusion, thermal diffusion, magnetohydrodynamics, binary fluid mixture.
