Analytical and Numerical Study on Various Transport Characteristics of Micropolar Fluid in a Channel with Statistical Analysis

Abstract

The study of micropolar fluids past between a channel offers a promising newlineavenue for improving the performance and efficiency of various industrial and newlineengineering processes. A set of problems involving micropolar fluid flows in a channel newlinewith different flow characteristics particularly, (i) Variable properties of viscosity and newlinethermal conductivity with the impact of activation energy (ii) non linear thermal newlineradiation in porous channel with porous medium (iii) Cattaneo Christov heat flux newlinetheory with bio-convection microorganisms (iv) Properties of hall-ion current and newlinehomogeneous heterogeneous (v) Non uniform heat source/sink, is investigated. It is newlineinteresting to note that this thesis dealt with problem involving vertical channel, newlinehorizontal channel and rotating channel. Moreover, in some problem the flow newlineis formulated by incorporating two cases in boundary and the flow patters have newlineanalyzed which is one of the fascinating part in this study. Dimensionless parameters newlinelike Prandtl number, Peclet number for heat transfer, Reynolds number, vortex newlineviscosity, Peclet number for mass transfer, Schmidt number, spin gradient viscosity, newlinemicro-inertia density, Hartman number, non linear thermal radiation parameter, newlineEckert number, Activation energy, homogeneous heterogeneous reaction parameter newlineon the flow fields are discussed and shown graphically newline
