The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of two immiscible and electrically conducting fluids between isothermal, insulated moving plates in the presence of an applied electric and inclined magnetic field has been investigated in the paper. The partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are solved analytically with appropriate boundary conditions for each fluid and these solutions have been matched at the interface. The numerical results for various values of the Hartmann number, the angle of magnetic field inclination, load parameter and the ratio of electrical and thermal conductivities have been presented graphically. It was found that decrease of magnetic field inclination angle flattens out the velocity and temperature profiles. With the increase of the Hartmann number velocity gradients near the plate’s increases, temperature in the middle of the channel decreases and near the plate’s increases. Induced magnetic field is evidently suppressed with an increase of the Hartman number. The effect of changes of the load factor is to aid or oppose the flow as compared to the short-circuited case.

The MHD flow of three immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel with isothermal walls in the presence of an applied electric and inclined magnetic field has been investigated in the paper. All three fluids are electrically conducting, while the channel plates are electrically insulated. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to ODE and closed-form solutions are obtained in three fluid regions of the channel. Separate solutions with appropriate boundary and interface conditions for each fluid have been determined. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, magnetic field inclination angle, ratio of fluid viscosities, and electrical conductivities have been presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

The magnetohydrodynamic flow of three immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel with isothermal walls in the presence of an applied magnetic field has been investigated. All three fluids are electrically conducting, while the channel plates are electrically insulated. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to ordinary differential equations and closed-form solutions are obtained in three fluid regions of the channel. Separate solutions with appropriate boundary conditions for each fluid have been obtained and these solutions have been matched at the interface using suitable boundary conditions. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, the ratio of fluid heights and thermal conductivities have been presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Couette flow of two immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel with isothermal walls in the presence of an applied electric and inclined magnetic field has been investigated in the paper. Both fluids are electrically conducting, while the channel plates are electrically insulated. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to ordinary differential equations, and closed-form solutions are obtained in both fluid regions of the channel. Separate solutions with appropriate boundary conditions for each fluid have been obtained, and these solutions have been matched at the interface using suitable matching conditions. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, the angle of magnetic field inclination, loading parameter, and the ratio of fluid heights have been presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

The magnetohydordynamic flow and heat transfer of two viscous incompressible fluids through porous medium has been investigated in the paper. Fluids flow through porous medium between two parallel fixed isothermal plates in the presence of an inclined magnetic and perpendicular electric field. Fluids are electrically conducting, while the channel plates are insulated. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to ordinary differential equations and closed-form solutions are obtained. Solutions with appropriate boundary conditions for velocity and temperature fields have been obtained. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, load factor, viscosity and porosity parameter have been presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

The paper investigates the magnetohydrodynamic flow of two immiscible, electrically conducting fluids between isothermal and insulated moving plates in the presence of an applied electric and inclined magnetic field with the effects of induced magnetic field. Partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer and magnetic field conservation are transformed to ordinary differential equations and solved exactly in both fluid regions, under physically appropriate boundary and interface conditions. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the non-dimensional velocity, non-dimensional induced magnetic field and nondimensional temperature. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, the angle of magnetic field inclination, loading parameter and the ratio of plates? velocities are presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

ABSTRACTAn analysis of the Poiseuille-Couette flow of two immiscible fluids between inclined parallel plates is investigated. One of the fluids is assumed to be electrically conducting while the other fluid and channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. The viscous and Ohmic dissipation terms are taken into account in the energy equation. The coupled nonlinear equations are solved both analytically valid for small values of the product of Prandtl number and Eckert number (= ε) and numerically valid for all ε. Solutions for large ε reveal a marked change on the flow and rate of heat transfer. The effects of various parameters such as Hartmann number, Grashof number, angle of inclination, ratios of viscosities, widths and thermal conductivities are presented and discussed in detail.

Flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel porous plates under a constant pressure gradient or constant flow rate has been considered in the paper. Effects of magnetic field, suction/injection and load factor have been studied in order to control the flow rate, shear stress and heat transfer on the plates. Applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the plates, the channel plates are electrically insulated and through the plates perpendicular to the surface the fluid of the same physical characteristics as the fluid in the basic flow is injected or ejected. An exact solution of governing equation has been obtained in a closed form. The influences of each of the governing parameters on flow rate, shear stress and heat transfer are discussed with the aid of graphs.

This paper studies the effects of Hall and ion slip on two dimensional incompressible flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting viscous fluid in a porous medium between two parallel plates, generated due to periodic suction and injection at the plates. The flow field, temperature and pressure are assumed to be periodic functions in ti e ω and the plates are kept at different but constant temperatures. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations is obtained using quasilinearization method. The graphs for velocity, temperature distribution and skin friction are presented for different values of the fluid and geometric parameters.

Magnetohydrodynamics natural convection in an inclined enclosure with a partition is studied numerically using a differential quadrature method. Governing equations for the fluid flow and heat transfer are solved for the Rayleigh number varying from 104 to 106, the Prandtl numbers (0.1, 1, and 10), four different Hartmann numbers (0, 25, 50, and 100), the inclination angle ranging from 0degto90deg, and the magnetic field with the x and y directions. The results show that the convective flow weakens considerably with increasing magnetic field strength, and the x-directional magnetic field is more effective in reducing the convection intensity. As the inclination angle increases, multicellular flows begin to develop on both sides of the enclosure for higher values of the Hartmann number if the enclosure is under the x-directional magnetic field. The vorticity generation intensity increases with increase of Rayleigh number. On the other hand, increasing Hartmann number has a negative effect on vorticity generation. With an increase in the inclination angle, the intensity of vorticity generation is observed to shift to top left corners and bottom right corners. Vorticity generation loops in each region of enclosure form due to multicelluar flow for an x-directional magnetic field when the inclination angle is increased further. In addition, depending on the boundary layer developed, the vorticity value on the hot wall increases first sharply with increasing y and then begins to decrease gradually. For the high Rayleigh numbers, the average Nusselt number shows an increasing trend as the inclination angle increases and a peak value is detected. Beyond the peak point, the foregoing trend reverses to decrease with the further increase of the inclination angle. The results also show that the Prandtl number has only a marginal effect on the flow and heat transfer.
