Abstract
Heat and Mass Transfer on MHD Oscillatory Flow of a Couple
Stress Fluid in Asymmetric Tapered Channel with suction
effects. The temperatures prescribed at the channel walls are
non-uniform. Magnetic field strength which is uniform is applied
transversely to the channel. Dimensionless parameters are used
to non-dimensionalized the governing equations to dimensionless
form. Closed form solution method is used to solve the dimen
sionless equations govern the flow and the solutions for velocity,
temperature and concentration distribution are obtained. The
effects of flow parameters on velocity profile, temperature distri
bution amd concentration distribution are presented, discussed
and shown graphically in details. The results of this work is in
agreement with the results obtained in [11] when the suction
parameter s = 0. It can be concluded that Increase in suction pa
rameter s accelerates the velocity of the fluid. Increase in suction
parameter s declines the temperature distribution. Higher values
of Hartmann number M retards fluid velocity. Increase in Peclet
number decreases the temperature distribution. And increase in
radiation parameter N increases the temperature distribution.
