We assume the flow is fully developed and unidirectional in the x-direction. This means the velocity is
independent of time and all physical quantities except pressure and concentrtion are independent of x, so that
the velocity and temperature will be functions of y only. Using the following dimensionless quantities,

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
One of the by products of modern development is the atmospheric pollution. This pollution has great impact on
future of mankind, overtaking infections diseases and nutritional disorders. Many scientists and engineers are
working hard to find causes for atmospheric pollution and methods to control them. Therefore, it is essential to
monitor the atmospheric pollution due to pollutants.
The axial dispersion in a couple stress fluid bounded by electrodes is studied using generalized dispersion
model. The dominent dispersion coefficient given by (55) is computed for different values of couple stress a
and the dimensionless time . The results are graphically represented in Fig. 2. It show that for non zero
values of electric number W
e
that is in the presence of electric field, the dispersion coefficient K
2
() P
e
2
increases with the increase in a. Further, K
2
() P
e
2
, values are spaced out for small values of time << 0.45
and becomes steady and are closer when << 0.75. Figs 3 and 4 depict the mean concentration
m
with axial
distance x for different values of a for fixed . These figures reveal that there is marked variation of concentration
with the axial distance and time. It is apparent from these figures that the effect of increasing a is to decrease
the peak value of the mean concentration. This implies that the concentration is more distributed in the x-direction
for larger and larger values of Peclet number P
e
. Figure 5 is the plot of mean concentration versus for
different values of a. We observe from these figures that the concentration at the points outside the input slug
(x > X
s
) are obviously less than those at the points inside the slug. We also see that it decreases with the increase
in for points inside and outside the slug.
The parameters that influence K
2
and
m
are the couplestress parameter a and electric number W
e
. Here
the behaviour of K
2
is to increase with the increase in a. We see that as increases
m
tends asymptotically to
zero. The proposed model and analysis presented here also suggests that the pollutants can be removed from the
atmosphere and this rate of removal would depend upon the rate of introduction of the pollutant and other
parameters.
