AB - The magnetohydrodynamic flow of three immiscible fluids in a horizontal  channel with isothermal walls in the presence of an applied magnetic field  has been investigated. All three fluids are electrically conducting, while  the channel plates are electrically insulated. The general equations that  describe the discussed problem under the adopted assumptions are reduced to  ordinary differential equations and closed-form solutions are obtained in  three fluid regions of the channel. Separate solutions with appropriate  boundary conditions for each fluid have been obtained and these solutions  have been matched at the interface using suitable boundary conditions. The  analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, the ratio of  fluid heights and thermal conductivities have been presented graphically to  show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.
