Summary
The effects of a constant external magnetic field on the laminar, fully developed flow of an electrically conducting incompressible rarefied gas in a nonconducting parallel-plate channel are studied. Consideration is given to the slip-flow regime, wherein a gas velocity discontinuity occurs at the channel walls. It is found that the magnitude of the slip velocity is unaffected by the magnetic-field strength for a given pressure drop, but that the mean gas velocity and wall friction coefficient are functions of both the velocity slip coefficient and the magnetic-field strength. The effect of a second-order slip-flow boundary condition is briefly discussed.
