Description
Summary:Two-fluid convective flow between two infinitely long inclined parallel plates making an angle with the horizontal where the plates are maintained at different constant temperatures is studied. The upper phase is filled with a viscous fluid and also occupied by a porous material whereas the lower phase is filled with a different viscous fluid. It is assumed that both the fluids are incompressible with different viscosities, densities and thermal conductivities. The transport properties of the two fluids are taken to be constant. Further, the flow is assumed to be steady, laminar, fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient. The whole system is rotated with an angular velocity in a counter-clock-wise direction about an axis perpendicular to the plates. It is observed that the effect of increasing porous parameter is the decrease of temperature and primary and secondary velocities in both the phases.
