Generalized Magnetohydrodynamic Couette flow of a binary mixture of viscous fluids through a horizontal channel under Soret Effect

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2014.01.00002

Abstract:

The Soret effect of temperature gradient on separation in generalized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Couette flow of a binary mixture of incompressible conducting viscous fluids between two parallel plates has been investigated analytically in the case when one plane is subjected to zero heat flux while the other has prescribed temperature. The expressions for velocity, temperature and the concentration are obtained analytically and the behaviour of concentration is shown graphically. It is observed that the temperature gradient separates the binary mixture components and the lighter component gets collected near the moving wall.

A Circle Theorem in the Samuelson Domain

Authors:

DOI NO:

Abstract:

In the subject matter of mathematical statistics, let the domain of mathematical activity that draws its inspiration from and nurtures the lead provided by the seminal paper of the American Economist and Nobel Prize (1970) winner P.A. Samuelson entitled, “How Deviant can you be?” and published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association in 1968, on the maximum and the minimum deviations, from the mean (denoted presently by m and 'm respectively) in a set of n observations with given mean μ and standard deviation σ, be henceforth defined as the Samuelson Domain. The present communication is in the Samuelson Domain. A circle theorem in the −σmplane is rigorously established and exhibited step by step for the sheer delight of its simplicity and elegance. A crude first approximation yields a result that is inferior to Samuelson’s but a more precise investigation of the consequences of the circle theorem shows that Samuelson’s famous work on the existence of bounds, for a set of n real numbers, in terms of σμ, and n can be improved upon provided n exceeds a critical value.

DOI NO:

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2014.01.00005

Abstract:

The effects of induced magnetic field on a free convective heat transfer transient flow of fluid past an infinite vertical plate through a porous medium have been investigated numerically. A mathematical model of the problem is developed from the basis of studying magneto-fluid dynamics(MFD) and the equations are solved by the finite difference method. The numerical values of non-dimensional velocity, induced magnetic field and temperature are computed for the different values of associated parameters in different times. In order to discuss the results, the obtained numerical values of flow variables are plotted in graphs. Finally the important findings of this work are concluded here.

DOI NO:

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2014.01.00006

Abstract:

In this paper, a Fuzzy Knowledge – Rule base technique is used to predict the ambient atmospheric temperature. The present study utilizes historical temperature as well as database of various meteorological parameters to develop a prediction process in fuzzy rule domain to estimate temperature. Daily observations of Rain, Atmospheric Pressure, and Relative Humidity are analyzed to predict the Temperature. The topic of Fuzzy Logic as a decision-making technique is introduced. It is recommended that applications of this technique could be effectively applied in the area of operational meteorology. An example of such an application, the forecast of the probability of temperature, is discussed and examples of the method are presented. Other possible meteorological applications are suggested. Additionally, a software package which aids in the development of such applications is briefly described.

DOI NO:

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2014.01.00007

Abstract:

To obtain this present study we studied basic equations. We studied the equation of continuity and derived the Navier-Stockes (N-S) equations of motion for viscous compressible and incompressible fluid flow. Boundary layer and thermal boundary layer equations are also derived. Then we studied similar solution of boundary layer and thermal boundary layer equations. We also performed unsteady solutions of thermal boundary layer equations. We used some non-dimensional variable to non-dimensionalised thermal boundary layer equations. The non-dimensional boundary layer equations are non-linear partial differential equations. To find out the non-similar solutions of unsteady thermal boundary layer equation we used finite difference method. The effect on the velocity and temperature profiles for various parameters entering into the problems are separately discussed and shown graphically.
