A Study on Pressure Loss for Incompressible Fluid Flow Through a Tube in the Presence of Magnetic Field

The Present Paper deals with the pressure loss due to presence of magnetic field in a fluid flow through a tube. Magnetic field equations are derived with the help of standard equations of flow. The pressure loss is obtained by the projecting the linear grid lines in fully development regions to the upstream and down stream limits. It was the observed that pressure drop is proportional to the square of Magnetic field angle. Also the pressure drop is proportional to the flow rate. Transverse magnetic field change the axial velocity profile from parabolic to relatively flat shape.
