MHD combined free and forced convection flow through two parallel porous walls

Summary The flow of a viscous conducting fluid between two parallel plates of infinite length (one of which is at rest and the other moving parallel to itself with a linear axial temperature variation) under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is considered. It is assumed that the fluid is injected into the channel through the lower wall and sucked from the channel through the upper wall with the same velocityv₀. The velocity and temperature distributions, the coefficient of skin friction and the rate of heat transfer coefficient are evaluated. The effects of magnetic parameterM, the suction Reynolds numberR, the Grashoff numberG and Binkmann numberB on the above mentioned physical quantities are investigated.With 21 Figures
