A study on some hydromagnetic free convective laminar flows

Zusatztext

The magnetohydrodynamics of an electrically conducting fluid is encountered in many problems in geophysics, astrophysics, engineering applications and other industrial areas. Hydromagnetic free convection flows have a great significance for the applications in the fields of stellar and planetary magnetospheres, aeronautics. Engineers employ magnetohydrodynamics principles in the design of heat exchangers, pumps, in space vehicle propulsion, thermal protection, control and re-entry and in creating novel power generating systems. However, hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer problems have become more important industrially. In many metallurgical processes involve the cooling of many continuous strips or filaments by drawing them through an electrically conducting fluid subject to a magnetic field, the rate of cooling can be controlled and final product of desired characteristics can be achieved. Another important application of hydromagnetic to metallurgy lies in the purification of molten metals from non-metallic inclusions by the application of a magnetic field.
