A two-dimensional natural convection flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical impermeable flat plate is considered in presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. Here the viscosity is taken as dependent on temperature whereas the thermal conductivity is assumed constant. We also investigate the effect of magnetic field on the natural convection flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid. The effect of variable viscosity and magnetic field on local skin friction, the rate of heat transfer and the profiles for velocity as well as viscosity in the entire free convection regime are presented and discussed. Keywords: Natural convection; Magnethydrodynamics (MHD); Viscosity; Prandtl number.  © 2010 JSR Publications.

Natural convection flow in a rectangular cavity containing internally heated and electrically conducting fluid has been investigated numerically. The bottom wall of the cavity is linearly heated whereas the top wall is well insulated. The left and right vertical walls are maintained at constant hot and cold temperature respectively.Results have been obtained with respect to Rayleigh numbers and Hartmann numbers. Flow and temperature fields for these cases have been studied. Average Nusselt numbers at hot, cold and linearly heated bottom wall have been calculated. It is found that the temperature, fluid flow and heat transfer strongly depend on internal and external Rayleigh numbers and Hartmann numbers.

An exact solution to one-dimensional unsteady natural convection flow past an infinite vertical accelerated plate, immersed in a viscous thermally stratified fluid is investigated. Pressure work term and the vertical temperature advection are considered in the thermodynamic energy equation. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by Laplace Transform techniques for the Prandtl number unity. The velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer are presented graphically and discussed the effects of the Grashof number Gr, stratification parameter S at various times t.
