The steady, laminar, fully developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent viscosity is studied in a rectangular duct together with its heat transfer. Although the induced magnetic field is neglected due to the small Reynolds number, the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The momentum and the energy equations are solved iteratively. Firstly, the momentum equation is solved by using the boundary element method with a parametrix since the diffusion term contains variable viscosity parameter depending on the temperature exponentially. Next, the momentum equation is also solved by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for comparison. The energy equation is solved by using the DRBEM keeping all the terms containing the velocity as inhomogeneity. The temperature and the velocity behaviours are examined for several values of Hartmann number, dimensionless viscosity parameter, Brinkmann number and the Hall parameter. As Hartmann number is increasing, the velocity magnitude drops which is a well known property of the MHD duct flow. Increasing viscosity parameter reduces both the flow and the temperature magnitudes whereas the increase in the Hall parameter accelerates the flow and increases the fluid temperature.

The application of BEM to MHD flow and heat transfer in a rectangular duct with temperature dependent viscosity Ebren Kaya, Elif; Tezer, Münevver ( EC LTD.; 2018-07-11) The steady, laminar, fully developed MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent viscosity is studied in a rectangular duct together with its heat transfer. Although the induced magnetic field is neglected due to the small Reynolds number, the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The momentum equation for the pipe-axis velocity and the energy equation are solved iteratively. Firstly, the momentum equation is solved by using the...
Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in a Rectangular Duct Bozkaya, Canan (2018-12-02) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with insulated and perfectly conducting walls is investigated numerically in the presence of hydrodynamic slip. The flow is fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient in the axial direction under the effect of an externally applied uniform and inclined magnetic field. A direct boundary element method (BEM) using a fundamental solution which enables to treat the governing M...

Determining the optimal parameters for the MHD flow and heat transfer with variable viscosity and Hall effect EVCİN, CANSU; Uğur, Ömür; Tezer, Münevver (2018-09-15) The direct and optimal control solution of the laminar, fully developed, steady MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in a duct is considered together with the heat transfer. The flow is driven by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field. The fluid viscosity is temperature dependent varying exponentially and the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The control problem is solved by the discretize-then-optimize approach usi...
Controlling the power law fluid flow and heat transfer under the external magnetic field using the flow index and the Hartmann number Evcin, Cansu; Uğur, Ömür; Tezer, Münevver (2018-10-01) The direct and optimal control solution of laminar fully developed, steady Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting power-law non-Newtonian fluid in a square duct is considered with the heat transfer. The fluid is subjected to an external uniform magnetic field as well as a constant pressure gradient. The apparent fluid viscosity is both a function of the unknown velocity and the flow index which makes the momentum equation nonlinear. Viscous and Joule dissipation terms ...
