Heat transfer due to the flow between infinite plates - One rotating and the other at rest under transverse magnetic field
Abstract
A theoretical study is presented of heat transfer in the MHD flow of a viscous incompressible conducting fluid between two infinite parallel plates, one of which is rotating and one of which is at rest. A transverse magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plates. It is found that the current depends on the magnetic field when the velocity and applied electric field are kept constant. The temperature distribution in the medium increases with increasing Hartmann number, and depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the conductivity of the fluid. The medium can be cooled by decreasing the strength of the magnetic field or the conductivity of the fluid.
