摘要
An analysis is performed to study the MHD free convection flow in a vertical rectangular duct for laminar and fully developed regime taking into consideration the effects of Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation. Numerical solutions are found using finite difference method of second-order accuracy. The effects of various physical parameters such as Hartmann number, aspect ratio, buoyancy parameter and circuit parameter are presented graphically. It is found that as Hartmann number, buoyancy parameter and aspect ratio increase, the upward and downward flow rates are increased for open circuit but decrease for short circuit.
