Effect of inclined and low magnetic field in gaseous slip flow in two‐dimensional rectangular microchannel using first‐order boundary conditions

Abstract In the present work, the effect of an oriented low magnetic field on near‐continuum gaseous slip flow inside a two‐dimensional rectangular microchannel has been studied using first‐order boundary conditions. The flow was assumed to be compressible, laminar, and steady. The governing equations were solved analytically to obtain the solutions of velocity, temperature, and the pressure of the flow. The influence of different parameters such as Knudsen number, aspect ratio, Hartmann number, and pressure ratio were studied and analyzed. It was found that the electric and magnetic field with an inclined angle had significant effects on the flow properties. The results showed that the velocity increases and the temperature decreases as the inclination angle of the magnetic field decreases. The velocity increases as the Knudsen number, pressure ratio, and aspect ratio increase, while it decreases with increasing of the Hartmann number. The temperature decreases with increasing of the Knudsen number, pressure ratio, and aspect ratio, while the temperature increases as the Hartmann number increases. The results of the present study were validated with published results in the literature.
