MODELING OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN A ROTATING VERTICAL POROUS CHANNEL WITH HALL CURRENT

In this study we have obtained an exact solution to the problem of heat and mass transfer in a rotating vertical porous channel taking into account the effects of Hall current. A strong magnetic field of uniform strength is applied along the axis of rotation. The entire system rotates about the axis normal to the plates with a uniform angular velocity. The porous channel is subjected to a constant suction/injection velocity as well as uniform free stream velocity. The nonlinear and coupled governing equations are solved by perturbation technique. The analytical expressions for primary and secondary velocity components, temperature and concentration fields, and shear stresses are obtained. The effects of the magnetic field, rotation of the channel, buoyancy force, Hall current, injection-suction parameter, and the temperature oscillation frequency are described during the course of discussion. The results are presented graphically and discussed.
