Hall Effect on Two-Phase Laminar Boundary Layer flow of Dusty Liquid due to Stretching of an Elastic Flat Sheet
Published 2017-05-17
Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with the effect of Hall current on boundary layer two-phase flow of an electrically conducting dusty fluid over a permeable stretching sheet in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The boundary layer approximation is employed for mathematical modeling. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. Subsequent equations are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted to reveal the tendency of solutions. It is found that the mass concentration of dust particles can be used as a control parameter to control the friction factor at the sheet. The influence of suction and injection are opposite on the momentum boundary layer growth.
