Abstract

The paper studies the flow of a two-component hot plasma in a porous rotating sphere. Asymptotic solutions are derived for small rotation Reynolds number (Re). The overall analysis of the study shows that the temperature distribution of the gas inside the sphere has a minimum value, for the various values of the radiation parameterN 2 at a point where the radius of the solar sphere is 0.5r ⊙ (wherer 0 is the dimensional radius of the sphere). The general result of the studies are discussed quantitatively. The problem has a lot of application in the understanding of the interior of astrophysical bodies.
