EHD dispersion of atmospheric aerosols through a vertical channel with temperature distributions

Abstract

The electrohydrodynamic (EHD) dispersion of atmospheric aerosols consisting of a couple stress fluid through a vertical channel, when the walls are held at different temperatures is studied by using Taylor dispersion model. Analytical solutions for the nonlinear coupled equations are obtained using a regular perturbation technique (RPT) with buoyancy number, N(<<1) as the perturbation parameter. The effect of electric field and couple stress parameter on velocity, temperature and dispersion of aerosols are numerically computed and the results are represented graphically.
