PLANE COUETTE FLOW WITH SUCTION OR INJECTION AND HEAT TRANSFER

Abstract

In this paper we have discussed the problem of suction and injection and of heat transfer in a plane Couette flow without imposing the condition of smallness on the suction parameter or such similar conditions on the Reynolds number to allow series solution. We have utilized some important properties of differential equations and some transformations which enable us to solve the two-point boundary value and eigenvalue problem. Without using the trial and error method. In fact, each integration provides us with a solution for a suction parameter and a Reynolds number. We beleive that the method outlined here can be easily adopted to a wide class of similar problems.
