• COUETTE FLOW THROUGH POROUS MEDIUM IN A ROTATING SYSTEM

Abstract

An exact solution has been obtained for the fully developed Couette flow thorough porous medium in a rotating system. It is found that both the primary and secondary velocities increase with increase in porosity parameter. The heat transfer characteristic has also been studied on taking viscous dissipation into account. It is found that the rate of heat transfer at the moving plate decreases with increase in porosity parameter. The critical Eckert number for which there is no flow of heat either from the plate to the fluid or from the fluid to the plate decreases with increase in porosity parameter.
