Abstract:

The unsteady mixed convection squeezing flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid between two vertical parallel planes is discussed. The fluid is electrically conducting. The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by appropriate transformations. The transformed equations are solved successfully by a modern and powerful technique. The effects of the emerging parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied and examined. The values of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated and analyzed.

Key words: unsteady stretching porous sheet, mixed convection, vertical rotating channel, squeezing flow
