Abstract

Effects of inclination and free convection on velocity profile for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe has been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are the equations of continuity, momentum and energy which are converted into ordinary differential equation by employing similarity transformation and solved numerically by the Runge- Kutta fourth order scheme with shooting method. The findings, which are presented in the form of tables and graphs reveal that; when Hartmann number, Grashoff number and Gamma are decreased, the velocity of the fluid increases. The results of the study may be useful for the different model investigations, especially, in various areas of science and technology in which optimal inclination and free convection are utilized.
