Abstract: | The influence of variation in physical variables on the steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Couette flow with heat transfer is
studied. An external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the parallel plates and the fluid is acted upon by
a constant pressure gradient. The viscosity and the thermal as well as electric conductivities are assumed to be temperature
dependent. The two plates are kept at two constant but different temperatures, and the viscous and Joule dissipations are
considered in the energy equation. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear coupled equations of motion and the energy
equation is obtained. The effect of the temperature-dependent viscosity, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity
on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.
