Combined effects of magnetic and electrical field on the hydrodynamic and thermophysical parameters of magnetoviscous fluid flow

Combine effect of externally applied magnetic and electrical field on the hydrodynamic and thermophysical properties of incompressible steady state magnetoviscous flow of liquid lithium in an enclosure was examined for applied magnetic field values are B = 0 T to 0.15 T and electrical field values are E=0 V/m to +/-9e-6V/m. According to the results, increase of magnetic and electrical field decreases the flow velocity but also increases the shear stress, temperature, heat flux and Nusselt number. Application and increase of electrical field in the positive direction increases the influence of magnetic field on the hydrodynamic and thermophysical properties of flow domain. As for that increase of applied electrical field in the negative direction decreased the effect of magnetic field. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
