Numerical investigation of two-dimensional and axisymmetric unsteady flow between parallel plates
In this study, heat and mass transfer in a viscous fluid which is squeezed between parallel plates is investigated numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The numerical investigation is carried out for different governing parameters namely; the squeeze number, Prandtl number, Eckert n...

| Summary: | In this study, heat and mass transfer in a viscous fluid which is squeezed between parallel plates is investigated numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The numerical investigation is carried out for different governing parameters namely; the squeeze number, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Schmidt number and the chemical reaction parameter. Results show that Nusselt number has direct relationship with Prandtl number and Eckert number but it has reverse relationship with the squeeze number. Also it can be found that Sherwood number increases as Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter increases but it decreases with increases of the squeeze number. |
