• EFFECT OF POROSITY ON THE FLOW RATE OF AN INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUID OF SECOND ORDER TYPE BY CREATING SINUSOIDAL DISTURBANCES

Abstract

In this paper, the effect of various flow entities on the nature of flow rate has been investigated in detail. As the porosity increases, the flow rate decreases. It is observed that, as the visco elasticity of the fluid increases, the flow rate is found to be decreasing. Further, it is noticed that, when the porosity of the fluid bed is held constant and the frequency of excitation increases, the flow rate is noticed to be decreasing. Also, as the time increases, the flow rate decreases when all the other flow entities are held constant. All such observations have been illustrated graphically.
