Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection Flows with Thermal Memory over a Moving Vertical Plate in Porous Medium

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

Effects of variations in magnetic Reynolds number on magnetic field distribution in electrically conducting fluid under magnetohydrodynamic natural convection

In this study the effect of magnetic Reynolds number variation on magnetic distribution of natural convection heat transfer in an enclosure is numerically investigated. The geometry is a two dimensional enclosure which the left wall is hot, the right wall is cold and the top and bottom walls are adiabatic. Fluid is molten sodium with Pr=0.01 and natural convection heat transfer for Rayleigh num...

Magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection effects on the removal process of fluid particles from an open cavity in a horizontal channel

This paper presents the results of a numerical study on the heat transfer performance and the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. The bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (Th) while the top wall of the channel is maintained at a relatively low temperature (Tc). Air wi...

Convection in a partially molten metasedimentary crust? Insights from the El Oro complex (Ecuador)

The El Oro complex, southwestern Ecuador, is a tilted section of the metasedimentary Ecuadorian forearc, which was partially molten during Triassic time due to gabbroic magma emplacement. Pressure and maximum temperature estimates show that the metamorphic gradient during anatexis was 45 °C/km in the upper crust and 10 °C/km in the 7–8 km garnet-bearing migmatitic lower crust, controlled by bio...
