Hall effects on hydromagnetic free convection in a heated vertical channel in the presence of an inclined magnetic eld and thermal radiatio

Abstract

An analytical study on unsteady hydromagnetic free convective ow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting uid in the presence of an inclined magnetic eld taking Hall currents into account has been presented. The governing equations are solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. The variations of the uid velocity components and the uid temperature are shown graphically and are discussed. The shear stresses and the rate of heat transfer at the channel plates are derived. The results are shown in gures and tables followed by a quantitative discussion.
