This article looks at the Soret and Dufour effects on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow of variable viscosity fluid in a symmetric channel. Analysis is presented in the presence of Ohmic heating. Results for the stream function, temperature and concentration are constructed. The variations of sundry parameters are analyzed.

The magnetic field of the Earth is generated by convection in the liquid-core and the energy necessary for this process comes from the cooling of the core which provide several buoyancy sources. The thermodynamics of this system is used to relate the Ohmic dissipation in the core to all energy sources and to model the thermal evolution of the core. If the same dissipation is maintained just bef...

We investigate a possibility of heating of the loops and other closed magnetic structures in active regions of the solar corona by the flow of solar wind (plus other flows that may be present) across the magnetic field lines (that are perpendicular to the flow), in a similar manner as a conventional MHD generator works. A simple model is formulated which allows to calculate the typical currents...

An analysis of mixed convective MHD visco-elastic flow with heat and mass transfer from a vertical plate in presence of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation has been presented. The governing equations of the momentum, thermal and concentration fields are solved by perturbation technique. Expressions for velocity, temperature, concentration profiles and non-dimensional skin-friction coefficient...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the non-local parabolic equation ut = (κ (u))rr + (κ (u))r r + f (u) (a+2πb ∫ 1 0 f (u)r dr) 2 , for 0 < r < 1, t > 0, with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. The equation is the so-called Ohmic-heating model, which comes from thermal electricity in this paper, u and f (u) represent the temperature of the conductor and the electric...

Dynamics of burning plasmas are studied by use of one dimensional simulation code with current diffusive ballooning mode model. Focusing on the effects of current profile control, burning performance is evaluated. The ohmic plasma is heated by additional heating and ignited state of the plasma is reached.

Advection-dominated, high-temperature, quasi-spherical accretion flow onto a compact object, recently considered by a number of authors, assume that the dissipation of turbulent energy of the flow heats the ions and that the dissipated energy is advected inward. It is suggested that the efficiency of conversion of accretion energy to radiation can be very much smaller than unity. However, it is...
