Parametric Study of Unsteady Flow and Heat Transfer of Compressible Helium–Xenon Binary Gas through a Porous Channel Subjected to a Magnetic Field

A numerical analysis of unsteady fluid and heat transport of compressible Helium–Xenon binary gas through a rectangular porous channel subjected to a transverse magnetic field is herein presented. The binary gas mixture consists of Helium (He) and Xenon (Xe). In addition, the compressible gas proper...
