• RADIATION EFFECT DUE TO NATURAL CONVECTION FLOW BETWEEN HEATED INCLINED PLATES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

We analyse the effect of small uniform magnetic field and radiation on separation of a binary mixture for the case of fully developed natural convection of a fluid between two heated inclined plates is investigated. Neglecting the induced electric field the equations governing the motion, temperature and concentration are solved by simple perturbation technique, in terms of dimensionless parameter measuring buoyancy force. The expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. The effects of Hartmann number M, thermal diffusion number , radiation parameter Ra, the constant N which measures the buoyancy force, the angle that the plates make with the horizontal are studied on the flow quantities and the results are discussed through graphs.
