Abstract

We examine the properties of the viscous dissipative accretion flow around rotating black holes in presence of mass loss. Considering thin disc approximation, we self-consistently calculate the inflow-outflow solutions and observe that the mass outflow rates decreases with the increase of viscosity parameter (α\alpha). Further, we carry out the model calculation of Quasi-periodic Oscillation frequency (νQPO\nu_{\rm QPO}) that is frequently observed in black hole sources and observe that νQPOmax\nu^{\rm max}_{\rm QPO} increases with the increase of black hole spin (aka_k). Then, we employ our model in order to explain the High Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillations (HFQPOs) observed in black hole source GRO J1655-40. While doing this, we attempt to constrain the range of aka_k based on observed HFQPOs (\sim 300 Hz and \sim 450 Hz) for the black hole source GRO J1655-40.
