Abstract
In this paper we present the novel of two
immiscible fluids flow and the effect of heat transfer
along a oppositely moving vertical plates. The vertical
channel is subjected to the transverse magnetic field
and one plate is moving with constant velocity w0
towards the center. The coupled governing equations
of the flow and heat transfer with appropriate
boundary conditions are solved using Finite Element
method. The profiles of velocity, Micro rotation and
temperature are studied for various parameters
Grashof Number (Gr), magnetic field (H), Reynolds
Number(R), Eckert Number (Ec), Material Parameter
(K) and represented graphically.
