Abstract
- <span class="AbstractHeading">Abstract  </span>Two-fluid magnetoconvection in a vertical enclosure consisting of two regions, one electrically conducting and another electrically non-conducting is investigated analytically. The transport properties of both fluids are assumed constant. The resulting coupled non-linear equations are solved using regular perturbation method. It is found that the effect of negative electric load parameter E is to aid the flow while the effect of positive E is to oppose the flow as compared to the case when E=0. The effects of various physical parameters such as Grashof number, viscosity ratio and width ratio are presented for heat absorption and heat generation case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
