Effects of transverse magnetic field on mixed convection in a micropolar fluid on a horizontal plate with vectored mass transfer

Mixed convection boundary layer flow on inclined wavy plates including the magnetic field effect

“…(14) and (15) can be combined into one equation by eliminating the pressure gradient ∂p/∂ŷ, and so, we havê…”

“…The action of a magnetic field on the fluid has many practical applications, e.g., metals processing industry, including the control of liquid metals in continuous casting processes, plasma welding, nuclear industry and many others. Some problems of MHD mixed convection flow over a flat plate have been studied by Ibrahim and Hady [13] and Mohammadein and Gorla [14]. In this study a simple coordinate transformation is employed to transform a complex wavy surface to a flat plate, and the obtained boundary layer equations are then solved by the spline alternatingdirection implicit method.…”

Unsteady MHD Mixed Convection Flow of a Micropolar Fluid Over a Vertical Wedge

“…A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscous incompressible fluid can be used either for producing heat by electromagnetic field such as MHD power generators and pumps [9] or to control the heat transfer in the cooling of reactors [10] as well as aerodynamic heating [9]. Ishak et al [11,12] investigated the MHD boundary-layer flow of a micropolar fluid past a wedge with constant wall heat flux as well as variable wall temperature.…”

“…Bhargava et al [14] studied the influences of a magnetic field and temperature dependent heat source on a micropolar fluid between two parallel porous plates. Mohammadein and Gorla [9] analyzed the mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid over a semiinfinite horizontal plate with vectored mass transfer in a transverse magnetic field. Nanousis [15] investigated the influence of an applied magnetic field on the mixed convection boundary-layer flow over a wedge with uniform suction or injection.…”

Combined effect of internal heat generation and magnetic field on free convection and mass transfer flow in a micropolar fluid with constant suction

“…Takhar and Soundalgekar [3] studied the effects of suction and injection on the flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving semi-infinite porous plate. Mohammadein and Gorla [4] analyzed the effects of magnetic field on the laminar boundary layer mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid over a horizontal plate. The natural convection flow of micropolar fluids in a porous medium was studied by Mohammadein et al [5].…”
