Abstract: | The MHD Couette flow of two immiscible fluids in a parallel plate channel in the presence of an applied electric and inclined
magnetic field is investigated in the paper. One of the fluids is assumed to be electrically conducting, while the other fluid
and the channel plates are assumed to be electrically insulating. Separate solutions with appropriate boundary conditions
for each fluid are obtained and these solutions are matched at the interface using suitable matching conditions. The partial
differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are transformed to ordinary differential equations and closed-form
solutions are obtained in both fluid regions of the channel. The results for various values of the Hartmann number, the angle
of magnetic field inclination, the loading parameter and the ratio of the heights of the fluids are presented graphically
to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. |
