Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection in a Vertical Slot

Sourav Das, Chitra Mandal

Abstract

The steady magnetohydrodynamic free convection in an asymmetrically heated vertical slot in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field has been studied. An exact solution of the governing equation has been obtained. The numerical results for the velocity field and the temperature distribution are presented graphically for various values of the Hartmann number and Grashof number. It is found that the magnitude of the velocity field decreases with increase in Hartmann number. It is also observed that the temperature decreases with increase in either Hartmann number or Grashof number.
