Abstract
The high temperatures and gaseous products of combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in proposed large scale magnetohydrodynamic generators have resulted in a need to develop accurate models for prediction of gas temperature profiles and wall heat fluxes. At the high temperatures and large sizes, radiative heat transfer in the combustion gases may be a significant energy transport mechanism. Results are presented for gas temperature profiles for fully developed turbulent magnetohydrodynamic flow of a radiating gray gas between infinite parallel plates with a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plates. Emphasis is placed on examination of temperature profiles and Nusselt numbers for various values of Hartmann and Reynolds numbers, gas optical thickness, and conduction to radiation parameter.
