dc.description.abstract | In this paper we consider laminar viscous incompressible fluid between two
infinite parallel plates when the upper plate is moving with constant velocity Uo
and the lower plate is held stationary under the influence of inclined magnetic
field. The resulting governing partial differential equation is solved by Sumudu
Transform and the solution expressed in terms of Hartmann number. The analysis
of this shows that, the velocity profile will decrease as the Hartmann number and
magnetic inclination increases. This approach can be used to obtain solutions of
ordinary differential equations in astronomy, Physics and in controlling
engineering problems. | en_US |
