Chemical Reaction and Radiative MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Flow with Temperature Dependent Viscosity Past an Isothermal Oscillating Cylinder

R. Ahmed, B. M. Jewel Rana, R. Uddin, M. M. Islam & S. F. Ahmmed · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

The numerical analysis is performed to examine the effects of magnetic, radiation and chemical reaction parameters on the unsteady heat and mass transfer flow past a temperature dependent viscosity of an isothermal oscillating cylinder. The governing coupled dimensional partial d...

Construction of a Simple Transformer to Illustrate Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction along Side Mutual Inductance

K. O. Rauff, Aliyu Rilwan, U. Abubakar Farouk & D. Dogo Joshua · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

The concept of mutual induction which arises from Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction is a major concerned about the size of the magnetic flux cutting across a wire which is directly proportional to the induced Electromotive Force (e.m.f.), this is often time being thought...
