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.
