EFFECT OF HALL CURRENTS ON THE EMHD TWO-LAYERED PLASMA HEAT TRANSFER FLOW VIA A CHANNEL OF POROUS PLATES

The temperature distribution caused by a magnetohydrodynamic two-layered liquid flow of ionized gases through a channel bounded by porous insulating plates with Hall currents is investigated. The heat transfer equations for a two-fluid flow with suction are worked out using the isothermal boundary and interface conditions. Exact solutions for the temperature distributions and heat transfer rates are obtained. The temperature field dependence on significant parameters, namely, magnetic, Hall, and porous parameters, ratios of viscosities, heights, and thermal conductivities, is investigated. This theoretical review can be useful for applications in diverse fields, such as geophysical streams, aerospace science, specifically modeling MHD electrical generators, Hall current accelerators, thermonuclear (fusion) power reactors, heat exchangers, aerodynamic heating, etc.
