    Abstract: A turbocharger is commonly used to get more available output power for internal combustion engines. The radial turbine recovers the engine exhaust gas energy and converts it into rotational energy. The turbocharger turbine consists mostly in a radial or mixed flow impeller and a volute. The turbocharger volute transforms a part of the engine exhaus... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents an exact solution of a fully developed natural convection flow in a vertical concentric annulus in the presence of transverse magnetic field and heat absorption. The non-dimensional form of the equation governing the flow is first obtained and then the unified analytical solutions for the temperature field, velocity field, and s... Show More
