The inclined magnetic field, viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also considered. Wave frame and long wave-length approximations are made to formulate the problem. Pressure gradient, pressure drop per wavelength, velocity and temperature profiles are calculated analytically and discussed graphically. Comparison is made with the previous work for reliability.展开更多
