Abstract

This work considers a pressure-driven flow through a horizontal channel. The flow is considered under the influence of viscous dissipation effect and porosity of the channel plates. The equations governing the flow are solved using the method of undetermined coefficients to obtain a closed-form solution for velocity and temperature of the fluid within the system.  A simulation of the analytical solutions obtained was carried out on MATLAB and the outcome was presented in graphical form. From the investigation, it can be deduced that viscous dissipation acts to increase fluid temperature.
