• EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ON SEPARATION OF A BINARY FLUID MIXTURE IN UNSTEADY COUETTE FLOW

Abstract

The problem of an unsteady two-dimensional flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two vertical parallel plates, which are at different temperatures in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic fieldhas been analyzed. The solutions for the concentration for different values of thermal diffusion number, Schmidt number, Peclet number and Reynolds number are studied.
