Abstract

In this paper, influence of transverse magnetic field has been studied on a steady, incompressible and fully developed laminar flow between two infinitely large non-conducting parallel plates. The fluid between the two plates is viscous and electrically conducting in nature. A mathematical model has been developed and the governing differential equations developed are solved using conventional methods.The essence of this work lies in analytical solution obtained which has been compared with differential equation solver and found correct. Effect of Hartman number (M) for different Reynolds number(R) has been studied on velocity profile and coefficient of skin friction. The results thus obtained have been used to solve the problem of variable loading in a journal bearing by using electrically conducting fluid as a lubricant.
