modeling electrification of suspended particulate matter (spm) in a two phase laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a semi-infinite flat plate

the present paper envisages the effects of electrification of particles, volume fraction and diffusion of spm on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a semi-infinite flat plate. irrespective of the particle material density, it has been observed that the range of validity of the solution remains fixed and at x = 2.12 the nature of the profiles of the flow variables changes. electrification of particles causes the particles to move faster for x < 1.0 and slows down for x > 1.0 but particle temperature increases with increase of m. it has been observed that heat transfer always occurs from the fluid to plate.
