FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER OF THREE IMMISCIBLE FLUIDS IN THE PRESENCE OF ELECTRIC AND INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD

ABSTRACT
The MHD flow of three immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel with isothermal walls in the presence of an applied electric and inclined magnetic field has been investigated in the paper. 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 ODE and closed-form solutions are obtained in three fluid regions of the channel. Separate solutions with appropriate boundary and interface conditions for each fluid have been determined. The analytical results for various values of the Hartmann number, magnetic field inclination angle, ratio of fluid viscosities, and electrical conductivities have been presented graphically to show their effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.
