Abstract

ABSTRACTAn analysis of the Poiseuille-Couette flow of two immiscible fluids between inclined parallel plates is investigated. One of the fluids is assumed to be electrically conducting while the other fluid and channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. The viscous and Ohmic dissipation terms are taken into account in the energy equation. The coupled nonlinear equations are solved both analytically valid for small values of the product of Prandtl number and Eckert number (= ε) and numerically valid for all ε. Solutions for large ε reveal a marked change on the flow and rate of heat transfer. The effects of various parameters such as Hartmann number, Grashof number, angle of inclination, ratios of viscosities, widths and thermal conductivities are presented and discussed in detail.
