Combined influence of Hall effect,ion slip,viscous dissipation and Joule heating on MHD heat transfer in a channel

To investigate the combined influence of Hall effect, ion slip, viscous dissipation and Joule heating on the fully developed laminar MHD channel heat transfer, the exact solution of the energy equation is derived assuming a constant wall heat flux, finely segmented electrodes and a small magnetic Reynolds number. It is concluded that there can be a substantial difference, depending upon Hartmann number, electric field intensity and Brinkman number, between the Nusselt number considering the Hall effect and that neglecting it. Representative results are presented in diagrams and in tables.
