MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC HEAT TRANSFER IN TWO-PHASE FLOW IN PRESENCE OF UNIFORM INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD

摘要

The two-phase Magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer problem in a horizontal channel is considered in presence of a strong uniform magnetic field. The induced field is produced in the flow direction. The fluids of different phases are assumed to be immiscible,incompressible, steady, one-dimensional and fully developed. The viscosities and thermal conductivities are considered to be different for different phases. The transport properties being assumed to be constants and they are of equal term. The upper phase is conducting whereas the lower phase is non-conducting. The interest, of investigation is focused on upper-phase. The analytical solutions of velocities, induced magnetic field and temperature distributions are obtained and are computed numerically for different heights and viscosity ratios for two fluids and for two different values of electric load parameters R_e . The computed results for velocity, magnetic field and temperature distribution are plotted for distances from the fixed horizontal plates and for different angle of inclinations.
