Abstract: | With viscous dissipation and Joule heating taken into account, solution of the energy equation is obtained for unsteady hydromagnetic thermal boundary layer flow past a porous wall (e.g., surface of a star) in presence of a transverse magnetic field, under the condition of zero heat transfer between the fluid and the boundary — the so-called plate thermometer problem in MHD. Solution of the problem, in the form of power series, is obtained under certain valid simplifying assumptions, when (i) the wall is subjected to a normal velocity of suction/injection which is proportional tot
–1/2, and (ii) the wall has a velocity given by t
n
. The variation of temperature is shown graphically and is followed by a quantitative discussion therein also signifying the importance of retaining the Joule heating term in the energy equation.Part I is the article inAstrophysics and Space Science, Vol.45, No. 2, 1976, pp. 397–410.On study-leave from Defence Science Laboratory, Delhi, India. |
