Effects of hall and ion-slip currents on free convective heat generating flow in a rotating fluid

Abstract

In this work, the effects of Hall and ion-slip currents on free convective heat generating rarefied gas in a rotating frame of reference are studied for the case of a strong magnetic field imposed perpendicularly to the plate. Expressions for the velocity and temperature fields are obtained, and the effects of the various parameters of the problem, e.g. the Hall parameter, the ion-slip parameter and rarefaction, are discussed through graphs.
