Friction Factors in Fully Developed MHD Laminar Flows for Oblique Magnetic Fields and High Hartmann Numbers in Rectangular Channels

Self-cooled liquid metal blanket of a thermonuclear fusion reactor has the most critical issue of strong MHD effects which influence the thermal efficiency of the reactor. Special attention needs to be paid to the MHD friction factors for flow in rectangular channels at low as well as at high Hartmann numbers. The effect on MHD friction factors of a magnetic field oblique to the channel walls for ...
