Abstract

An analysis is made for transient, fully-developed MHD free and forced convection flow of a viscous, incompressible, Newtonian fluid in a rotating horizontal parallel-plate channel subjected to a uniform strength, static, oblique magnetic field acting at an angle to the positive direction of the axis of rotation. A constant pressure gradient is imposed along the longitudinal axis of the channel. Magnetic Reynolds number is sufficiently small to negate the effects of magnetic induction. The channel plates are electrically non-conducting. The conservation equations are formulated in an (x,y,z) coordinate system and normalized using appropriate transformations. Expressions are also derived for the primary and secondary shear stresses at the channel plates
