Fluid Flow in Bifurcating Rectangular Porous Systems under Magnetic Field Influence | Chapter 08 | Current Research in Science and Technology Vol. 2
Steady MHD fluid flow in a bifurcating
rectangular porous channel is presented. The governing nonlinear equations are
solved analytically by the methods of similarity transformation and regular
perturbation series expansions. Expressions for the temperature, concentration
and velocity are obtained and analyzed graphically. The results show that
increase in bifurcation angle and Grashof numbers increase the transport
velocity, whereas the increase in the magnetic field parameter decreases it.
Furthermore, it is seen that an increase in bifurcation angle increases the
temperature of the flow.
