• Resumen

  • The steady flow of an incompressible viscous non-Newtonian electrically conducting fluid and heat transfer due to the rotation of an infinite disk are studied considering the Hall effect. The effects of an externally applied uniform magnetic field, the Hall current, and the non-Newtonian fluid characteristics on the velocity and temperature distributions as well as the heat transfer are considered. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear equations which govern the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and energy transfer are obtained over the entire range of the physical parameters.
