Abstract:
In this study, asymptotic solutions of a near continuum
gaseous slip flow in two?dimensional rectangular
microchannels under the effect of electromagnetic
force are presented. An inclined magnetic field was
assumed in this study. Nondimensional equations were
obtained that relate the pressure ratio, Mach number,
magnetic Reynolds number, magnetic force number,
and Reynolds number. The asymptotic solutions for the
compressible, laminar, and steady flow were obtained
by applying second?order slip velocity and temperature
jump wall boundary conditions. It was found that the
electric and magnetic field with inclined angle had
significant effects on the flow properties. The solutions
obtained here using the second?order boundary conditions
result in tangible improvement over those
obtained using first?order boundary conditions. We
compared our solutions against the numerical solutions
that were provided in the literature and showed
that our solutions were in good agreement with the
numerical solution.
