TWO-DIMENSIONAL HEATED JET WITH AN ARBITRARY PRANDTL NUMBER AND MAGNETOGASDYNAMIC FREE JET.

Abstract

Most of the existing solutions to the free jet problem are restricted by assumptions of constant viscosity, a unitary Prandtl number and incompressible fluids. The solution of the 2-dimensional, laminar jet of a compressible fluid with an arbitrary Prandtl number is presented for subsonic flow. A solution is also obtained for any Mach number flow for a Prandtl number of 1. The laminar, compressible, twodimensional jet of an electrically conducting fluid with an applied transverse magnetic field is solved by a perturbation technique. The perturbation parameter is the non-dimensional ratio of the magnetic force to the inertia force of the jet. The velocity and temperature distributions are found in closed form to first order in the perturbation parameter. The velocity profiles are also obtained, to first order, for an electric field applied in a direction normal to both the magnetic field and the axial direction. The solution is valid for an electric field that is the same order of magnitude as the v x B force. (Author)
