Abstract
The paper aims to study the flow of a binary mixture of electrically conducting, incompressible and viscous fluids between two parallel plates in the presence of a transverse uniform magnetic field. The solution of such a flow model has many applications in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generators, MHD pumps, MHD accelerators, and MHD flowmeters. Exact solutions have been obtained for the following four problems: (1) steady hydromagnetic Couette flow, (2) unsteady hydromagnetic Couette flow, (3) steady hydromagnetic Poiseuille flow, (4) unsteady hydromagnetic Poiseuille flow. The mean velocity of the mixture is drawn for different values of magnetic parameters and results are interpreted with the aid of graphs. The previous solutions involving single Newtonian fluid appear as the special cases of the present analysis.
