Several investigations have been carried out on various types of flow in a rotating frame of reference. Couette flow in a rotating systems leads to a start up process implying thereby a viscous layer boundary is suddenly set into motion and the rate of rotation becomes important in the application of geophysics and fluid engineering as already stated in such a way that the problem is to be analysed by the effect of rotation for small as well as large time τ. However, Vidyanidhi and Nigam (967 expedite the situation of a secondary flow in a rotating channel by taking into account of the flow of a viscous fluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system with uniform angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to their planes under the influence of a constant pressure gradient. Barik, et al (0 made an attempt to study the effects of heat and mass transfer on the flow over stretching sheet in the presence of a heat source. Seth et al (0 studied MHD couette flow of class II in a rotating system. Jana and Datta (977 have studied the steady Couette flow and heat transfer in a rotating system. Mazumder (99 investigated an exact solution of an oscillatory Couette flow in a rotating system. Khaled (0 also studied the transient magnetohydrodynamic in mixed double convection along a vertical plate embedded in a non Darcy porous medium. Al Odat (0 studied transient non Darcy mixed convection during a vertical surface in porous medium with such suction or injection. Seth et al. (98 have studied unsteady Couette Flow in a rotating system. Our present problem is to study the unsteady Couette flow with transpiration confined between two plates, rotating with the same angular velocity Ω about an axis perpendicular to their planes and the flow is induced due to the motion of the upper plate. When the upper plate is not moving with uniform velocity, we have the problem considered by Berker (979. It is important to note that when the upper plate is moving there is no reason to expect only the axially symmetric solution. In this context, it may be noted that Berker [4] established the existence of non axisymmetric solution for the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two disk rotating about a common axis with d same angular velocity. In relating to the fact that Rajagopal [7] has studied, the now of viscoelastic fluid between two rotating disks is a decisive importance to an asymmetric solution of this problem. Singh, Gorla and Rajhans [0] investigated a periodic solution of oscillatory couette flow through a porous medium in a rotating system. Parter and Rajagopal [6] investigated the problem of flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two parallel disks about a common axis with different angular speeds. They rigorously proved that the problem admits of solution that lacks axial symmetry. With regard to the existence theorem of Parter and Rajagopal it is pointed out that an extensive numerical computation were carried out by Lai et al. [3] with their study of non axisymmetric Ref. 4.

Ref 6. Erdogan M. E. (995, Unsteady Flow Induced by Rotation about Non Coincident axes, Int. J. Non Linear Mech. 30, 7. flow between two parallel rotating disks. It becomes a significant approach to a viscous flow above a single rotating disk which gives a similar result as studied by Lai et al. [4]. Erdogan [6] has considered the unsteady flow induced by the rotation about non coincident axes while both of the disks are initially rotating with the same angular velocity about a common axis. An extension of this problem of the unsteady flow produced by a sudden coincidence of the axes while two disks are initially rotating with the same angular velocity about non coincident axes was studied by Ersoy [7]. Greenspan [9] devoted to the theory of unsteady hydrodynamic Couette flow in a rotating system. The aim and objective of this our present work deals with the time development of a start up Couette flow with transpiration in a rotating frame of reference for small time τ and large time τ where the frictional layer of the upper plate is suddenly set into motion with uniform velocity U with the transparency of a rigid body rotation. A remarkable feature of this problem is to discuss the physical insight into the flow pattern for small time τ by applying Laplace transform technique. The velocity distributions and the shear stresses due to the primary and secondary flows are obtained for small as well as large time τ. Consider the unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid confined between parallel plates at a distance d apart, rotating with uniform angular velocity Ω about an axis normal to the plate with transpiration w 0. We choose the coordinate system in such a way that the x axis is along the plate (stationary plate and z axis is perpendicular to it and y axis normal to the xy plane. The flow is induced by motion of the upper plate while the lower plate is kept fixed. The upper upper plate moves with uniform velocity U (t > 0 in the x direction. Since the plates are infinite along x and y directions, all physical quantities will be the functions of z and t only. Denoting velocity u and v along x and y directions, respectively, the Navier Stoke equations in a rotating frame of reference are u w u t 0 = ν u z z + Ωv (. v w v t 0 = ν v z z Ωu (. Where ν = μ is the kinematic coefficient of viscosity and w ρ 0 is the transpiration parameter. The initial and boundary conditions are u = v = 0 for t 0, 0 z d (.3 u = v = 0 at z = 0, t > 0 Let us define the dimensionless quantities as u = U, v = 0 at z = 0, t > 0 (.4 u = u U, v = v U, φ = z d νt, τ =, w d 0 = Reν d (.5 03 Global Journal of Science Frontier Research F Volume XIII 7 03 Global Journals Inc.

Figure shows that the secondary velocity v increases with increase in K. It is also observed from figure that the velocity profiles are skewed near the moving plate while the maximum peak occurs near the stationary plate this is due to the transpiration from the system.

Table shows that the shear stress due to primary flow τ x decreases with increase in K for small time τ. On the other hand, it increases due to secondary flow τ y with increase in K. It is noticed from Table that the shear stress due primary flow τ x0 decreases from K =.0 to.5 and increases from K = 3.0 to 5.0. Similarly the shear stress due to secondary flow τ y0 decreases from K =.0 to.0 and increases from K =.5 to 5.0. An analysis and investigation has been made on unsteady Couette flow with transpiration in a rotating system for small time as well as large time τ. Laplace transform technique is applied for the solution of velocity distributions and shear stresses are analyzed for small time as well as large time τ. Unsteady coquette flow with transpiration in a rotating system leads to a start up flow with occurrence of back flow for large time τ when the rate of rotation is high and the transpiration is constant. The significant of a study of the flow pattern is in such a way that the shear stresses due to primary and secondary flow for large time τ = 0.0 show layer of separation when a back flow occurs.
