BUOYANCY EFFECTS ON MHD LAMINAR MIXED CONVECTION WITH VERTICAL CHANNEL IN DOWNFLOW

摘要

This paper deals with the buoyancy effects on MHD laminar mixed convection in vertical channel is considered. Solutions of the governing parabolic equations are obtained by the use of an implicit finite difference technique coupled with a marching procedure. The velocity, the temperature and the pressure profiles are presented graphically for different values of governing parameters like magnetic parameter M, buoyancy parameter Gr/Re and Prandtl number Pr and their behaviour is discussed.
