UNSTEADY FLOW OF DUSTY FLUID THROUGH CIRCULAR PIPE: A STUDY

The present paper an attempt to study flow of an unsteady dusty fluid through a circular pipe under the influence of impulsive pressure gradient. We have assumed that the initial fluid velocity to be some average velocity. Analytical expressions for the velocities of fluid and dust particles are obtained by using Laplace transform technique. The influence of mass concentration and relaxation time of the dust on the velocity have been clearly pointed out. Results have been discussed with the help of graphs.
