Abstract

The study of the effect of hall and ion slip on an inclined conductor on MHD natural and forced convection in a heated wavy chamber with a constant transversal magnetic field applied. The governing momentum and energy equation were solved by applying finite central scheme approximation and the resulting partial difference equations were solved by MATLAB software. The study showed that an increase heat absorption coefficient lowers the surface heat transfer thus lowering flow rate. An increase in Rayleigh number increases the flow rate while an increase in the angle of inclination of the conductor increases the buoyancy force component thereby increasing the flow rate. The results further showed that flow rate became higher at an inclination angle of 90º. In addition, the results also showed that an increase in Hartmann increases the flow rate. The Hartmann number, Rayleigh number and Absorption coefficient are analytically discussed and represented in tables and graphical profiles with respect to flow velocity and temperature profile due to engineering demand. This current study a direct application in the development of MHD propelled vessels in the marine and space-craft department.
