Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic convective two-fluid flow and temperature distribution between two inclined parallel plates in which one fluid being electrically non-conducting and the other fluid is electrically conducting is studied. A constant magnetic field is applied normal to the flow. The system is rotated about y-axis with an angular velocity ‘W’. Perturbation method is used to obtain solutions for primary velocity, secondary velocity and temperature distribution by assuming that the fluids in the two regions are incompressible, laminar, steady and fully developed. Increasing values of rotation is to reduce temperature distribution and primary velocity where as thesecondary velocity increases for smaller rotation, while for larger rotation it decreases.

Temperature distribution in convective Hartmann flow in a horizontal channel has been studied extensively for decades
Magnetohydrodynamic two-fluid flow driven by a pressure gradient p x in an inclined channel consisting of two infinite
As the solutions for the equations of zeroth-order approximation are linear, the graphs for temperature distribution are drawn only for first order approximations. This show that the temperature distribution up to zeroth-order approximation is due to the conduction only
Summary
Temperature distribution in convective Hartmann flow in a horizontal channel has been studied extensively for decades. Lohrasbi and Sahai [3] discussed magnetohydrodynamic two-phase flow with temperature distribution in a horizontal channel. Two-phase hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer in a horizontal channel is investigated analytically by Malashetty and Leela [4]. Raju and Murty [5] analyzed rotating MHD two-phase flow and temperature distribution in a horizontal channel. In the present problem, rotating hydromagnetic two fluid flow and temperature distribution through two inclined parallel plates in which one-phase being electrically non-conducting and the other phase is electrically conducting is studied. The transport properties of the two fluids are taken to be constant The fluids in both the phases are assumed to be incompressible with different densities, thermal conductivities and viscosities
