ABSTRACT Ramana Rao and Narayana (1981) studied the flow of two incompressible immiscible liquids occupying equal heights between two parallel plates in a rotating system under the action of constant pressure gradient. They also studied the associated thermal distribution, assuming equal and different plate temperatures. This branch of fluid mechanics has developed rapidly in recent times as an obvious consequence of interest in geophysical flow problems, earth’s atmosphere, oceans and core and of stars and galaxies. We considered the flow of two incompressible immiscible fluids occupying equal heights in rotating circular pipe. Immiscible fluids we mean, superposed fluids of different densities and viscosities. The rotating pipe that we consider here has the following physical meaning. If we introduce a pipe in a rotating flow, for example, rotating flow due to earth’s rotation, the pipe also rotates.

KEYWORDS: Pressure gradient, Flux INTRODUCTION This sets up the primary and secondary flows. Ramana Rao and Narayana (1981) suggested that olive oil and water can be taken as two immiscible liquids to test their theoretical conclusions for setting up an experiment.The uniqueness for two immiscible fluids in one-dimensional porous medium was studied by Baiocchi, Evans, Lawrence C, frank, Leonid, Friedman, Anver (1980). Patrudu (2001) studied the laminar flow of two incompressible immiscible liquids under a constant pressure gradient through a channel of circular cross section in a rotating straight pipe, rotating with a uniform angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to the channel. This problem was later extended by Sivarama Prasad (2006) for the hydro magnetic case. The flow of two incompressible, immiscible liquids through a straight pipe in the annular region bounded by two concentric circles of radii a and a,  < 1, under two constant pressure gradients, occupying equal heights is considered.

BASIC EQUATIONS AND THEIR NON DIMENSIONAL FORM We consider the steady laminar flow of two incompressible liquids under the action of constant pressure gradient through a channel of arbitrary cross section rotating with a uniform angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to the channel. The equations of motion in steady state flow, relative to a set of rectangular Cartesian coordinates z1) rotating with a constant angular velocity ’ with respect to an inertial system are

For fully developed laminar flow, the form of ’ is restricted to ' = -cz' + F (r',)

where ‘c’ is a constant and may be termed as the gradient of ’ along the axis of the pipe. The above equations are the equations of motion of a viscous incompressible liquid characterized by viscosity v1 and density ρ1 occupying the space between r = a  and r' = a in the circular pipe for the upper liquid. Here (u’1, v’1, w’1) are the components of the velocity in the direction of (r’,, z’) where ‘’ is the angle between the radius and the axis of rotation and z1 is measured from the axis of the pipe. The corresponding equations for the lower liquid occupying the space between r’ = 0 to r’ = a  of the circular pipe, are 2  u ' 2 v' 2 u ' 2 v' 2     2 ρ2 ' w2 sin θ  ρ2 u ' 2      r ' r '  θ ' r '  

(1.43), v' = 0 in either case. So a particle of liquid once in this plane does not leave it in the subsequent motion. The motion in the two halves of the pipe is therefore quite distinct from each other. The differential equation of the streamlines in the central plane of the pipe is

Table shows the same stream line in the plane of symmetry for ε =0 and ε =1. We note that no stream line in the central plane ever reach the edge of the pipe. As the angular velocity Ω' is increased, the distance which must be covered by the central stream line to be within a given distance from the edge gets smaller., this results holds good for all values of ε between 0.5 and 1. For a fixed value of T2, the effect of decreasing ε from unity to 0.5, is to increase the distance that the liquid particle in the central plane travel in going from points near edge of the pipe i.e., r=0 to points r= ε. The similar conclusions can be drawn for the upper liquid also.

STREAM LINES OF THE SECONDARY FLOW To the first order of approximation in T1 and T2, the equation for the projection of the stream lines on the cross section of the channel for the upper liquid is given by 192000 g 11 cosθ = k. Figure gives the projection of the stream lines on the cross section of the channel when  = 0.5 for some values of k.

Secondary Flow of two Immiscible Liquids in a Rotating Annular Pipe of Circular Cross Section

CONCLUSIONS The stream line pattern in the central plane of the pipe has been discussed and the pattern of general stream lines for both upper and lower liquids have been obtained and shown graphically also. For different values of k, we get a set of closed curves which are symmetrical about the axis of rotation θ= 0. For an equal and opposite value of k, the curves in the lower half are obtained by the reflection of the curves on the diameter of the cross section perpendicular to the axis of 

rotation. The upper half of the cross section is divided into two regions by a circle of radius r= r , which corresponds to a stream line when k= 0. The other branches of the curve with k= 0 are the peripheries of the channel r=ε, r= 1 and the parts of the axis θ=

  between two peripheries. In the region I (ε ≤ r ≤ r ), the stream lines are obtained as k assumes 2 1

negative values between 0 and minimum value k (corresponding to the degenerate stream line for r= r min ). In the region II 

(r ≤ r ≤ 1), the stream lines are obtained as k assumes positive values between 0 and maximum value k ( corresponding to the degenerate stream lines for r= r max ). At these degenerate points, both the radial and transverse components of velocity in the cross section vanish. Thus the stream lines of motion through the points (r min , 0), (r max , 0), (r min ,  ), (r max

,  ) are straight lines and the motion in opposite directions about two pairs of straight lines. It is found for ε= 0.5, r min 1
