Combined influence of Hall effect, ion slip and temperature boundary condition of third kind on MHD channel flow heat transfer

Abstract

To investigate the combined influence of Hall effect, ion slip and the temperature boundary condition of the third kind on the magnetohydrodynamic heat transfer in the thermal entrance region of a flat channel, the energy equation is solved by employing the Galerkin-Kantorowich method of variational calculus. The heat generation within the fluid is neglected. It is concluded that there can be a significant influence of Biot number and Hall parameter on the local Nusselt number. Representative results are depicted in tables.
