AB - Cooling period of liquid metal while flowing under imposed magnetic and  electrical field was studied for laminar steady flow condition. Computational  analyses were done by ANSYS Fluent software MHD module. For applied each  constant value of magnetic field induction (B = 0 T, B = 0.05 T, B = 1 T),  the electrical field intensity was applied positively as E+ (1e-4, 1e-5) V/m  and negatively as E−(-1e-4, -1e-5) V/m. Increase of the E+ field intensity  decreased the local temperature (increased cooling rate) but also increased  the heat flux and Nusselt number. Also, decrease of the E− in the opposite  direction increased the temperature but also decreased the heat flux and  Nusselt number. It could be signified that by the application of magnetic  field or together with electrical field, the heat transfer could be improved  or attenuated.
