Abstract

A steady MHD free and forced convective viscous incompressible electrically conducting flow in a rotating channel under constant pressure gradient has been studied. An exact solution of the governing equations has been obtained in closed form. The numerical results for the velocity components, the induced magnetic field components and the temperature distribution are being presented graphically. The shear stresses and critical Grashof numbers at the lower and upper plates have been calculated. The heat transfer characteristics have also been studied on taking viscous and Joule dissipations into account. The rate of heat transfer at the lower plate increases whereas the rate of heat transfer at the upper plate decreases with an increase in either magnetic parameter or Eckert number or Grashof number.
