Hall effects on natural convective flow in slip flow regime

Abstract

Hall effects on the flow of electrically conducting rarefied gas due to combined buoyant effects of thermal and mass diffusion past an infinite porous plate with constant suction in the presence of strong transverse magnetic field have been investigated. The equations governing the flow poblem have been solved for primary, secondary velocities and temperature. The effects of Hall current, magnetic field and the effect of rarefication have been discussed graphically followed by a discussion. © 1984 D. Reidel Publishing Company.
