Abstract

Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the mass flow rate for the steady flow of a conducting liquid along a pipe of arbitrary cross section under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The extrema are constructed by first establishing an identity which is then used in some simple inequalities. It is shown how these bounds can be used to derive an asymptotic expansion for the flow rate at large Hartmann number. Two illustrations are included.
