Electrohydrodynamic nanofluid flow and heat transfer between two plates

In this paper electro-magneto-hydrodynamics effects on nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a rotating system are studied. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used in order to solve the governing equations. Effects of electric parameter, magnetic parameter, Reynolds number and rotation parameter on the magnitude of the skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer have been considered. Results show that the Nusselt number increases with an increase of the magnetic parameter, electric parameter and Reynolds number but it decreases with an increase of the rotation parameter.
