Abstract
A laminar two-dimensional viscous conductin free jet flow of a power-law non-Newtonian incompressible viscous fluid immersed in nonconducting space is studied. A constant magnetic field transverse to the axis of the jet is applied and the electrical conductivity is taken as an integral power of the axial velocity.
The method of Sherbnin (1973) is used to solve the problem.
Numerical values of the maximum velocity, the boundary-layer thickness and the discharge rate of the jet are calculated and represneted graphically.
