Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to consider magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates with surface roughness.

Design/methodology/approach

Based upon the MHD theory, this paper analyzes the surface roughness effect squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates lubricated with an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field.

Findings

It is found that the magnetic field effects characterized by the Hartmann number produce an increased value of the load carrying capacity and the response time as compared to the classical Newtonian lubricant case. The modified averaged stochastic Reynolds equation governing the squeeze film pressure is derived.

Research limitations/implications

The present study has considered both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian liquids.

Practical implications

The work represents a very useful source of information for researchers on the subject of MHD squeeze film with finite porous parallel rectangular plates lubricated with an electrically conducting fluid.

Originality/value

This paper is relatively original and illustrates the squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates with MHD effects.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this work is to carry our a study of the effect of surface roughness on squeeze film behavior between two transversely circular stepped plates with couple stress lubricant when the upper circular stepped plate has porous facing which approaches the lower plate with uniform velocity.

Design/methodology/approach

The modified Stochastic Reynolds equation is derived for Christensen Stochastic theory for the rough surfaces. Closed form solution of the Stochastic Reynolds equation is obtained in terms of Fourier-Bessel series.

Findings

It is found that the effect of couple stress fluid and surface roughness is more pronounced compared to classical case.

Originality/value

The problem is original that it consider a couple stress fluid in this type of applications.

Abstract

Purpose

Chemical reaction effects are added to the governing equation. This paper aims to get the solution by converting the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation and solve using a perturbation scheme and applying the boundary conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, the authors discussed the chemical reaction effects of heat and mass transfer on megnato hydro dynamics free convective rotating flow of a visco-elastic incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a vertical porous plate through a porous medium with suction and heat source. The authors analyze the effect of time dependent fluctuating suction on a visco-elastic fluid flow.

Findings

Using variable parameters of the fluid, the velocity, temperature and concentration of the fluid are analyzed through graphs.

Originality/value

The velocity profile reduces by increasing the values of thermal Grashof number (Gr), mass Grashof number (Gc) and the magnetic parameter (M). On the other hand, the velocity profile gets increased by increasing the permeability parameter (K). The temperature profile decreases by raising the value of Prandtl number (Pr) and frequency of oscillation parameter (ω). However, the source parameter (S) has the opposite effect on the temperature profile. The concentration profile reduces in all points by raising the chemical reaction parameter Kl, Schmidt number Sc, frequency of oscillation ω and the time t.
