The outcome of Newtonian heating on Couette flow of viscoelastic dusty fluid along with the heat transfer in a rotating frame: second law analysis

Abstract

The outcome of Newtonian heating on the viscoelastic fluid plays a vital role in daily life applications such as conjugate heat transfer around fins, heat exchanger, solar radiation, petroleum industry, etc. Also, rotation of viscoelastic fluid has various importance in product-making industries and engineering. Viscoelastic dusty fluids and Newtonian heating are applicable in nuclear reactors, gas cooling systems, control temperature of the system and centrifugal separators, etc. Therefore, based on this motivation, the present study presents the Newtonian heating effect on the dusty viscoelastic fluid. Additionally, a free convective heat transfer is taken for Couette flow in a rotating frame along with a uniform applied magnetic field. The dust particles possess complex velocities due to rotation and therefore it is the combination of the primary and secondary velocities. For the specified flow, the entropy generation and Bejan number are also computed. Poincare-Light Hill technique has been used for the solution of the system of partial differential equations. The velocity profile for dust particles and fluid are discussed in this article. The influence of different parameters on the Nusselt number, temperature profile, velocity of fluid and dust particle is discussed thoroughly.
