An exploration of heat and mass transfer for MHD flow of Brinkman type dusty fluid between fluctuating parallel vertical plates with arbitrary wall shear stress
Abstract
An equitably complex phenomenon, the Brinkman-type dusty fluid and wall shear stress effect, is utilized in various engineering and product-making fields. For instance, dusty fluids are employed in nuclear-powered reactors and gas freezing systems to reduce heat of the system. To ascertain the impact of wall shear stress on Brinkman-type dusty fluid flow, the current study intends to do so. Base on this motivation, this paper discusses the two-phase MHD fluctuating flow of a Brinkman-type dusty fluid along with heat and mass transport. Two parallel non-conducting plates are used to model the flow, one at rest and the other in motion. Heat and mass transfer, along with wall share stress, are also taken into consideration, and plate fluctuation allows the flow to occur. The Poincaré-Lighthill fluctuation method was utilised in the process to investigate systematic solutions. The findings were achieved and plotted on a graph. The two-phase flow model is created by independently simulating the fluid and dust particle equations. The effect of relevant aspects such as the Grashof number, magnetic parameter, heat flux, and dusty fluid variable on the base fluid velocity has been explored. It was found that as the magnetic flux and imposed shear force decrease, the velocity of the base fluid increases. Additionally estimated in tabular form are rate of heat transfer and skin friction, two crucial fluid parameters for engineers. According to the graphical analysis, the Brinkman kind dusty fluid has better control over dust particle and fluid velocity rather than viscous fluid. By adjusting the value of N, you may control the temperature profile. Also, by adjusting the value of Sc and γ, you may control the concentration profile.
