An exact solution of the governing equations has been obtained in a closed form. It is found that the primary velocity f/Ωl increases and the secondary velocity g/Ωl decreases with increase in either Reynolds number Re or the Hartman number M. It is also found that the torque at the disk η= 0 increases with increase in either M^2 or K^2. On the other hand there is no torque at the disk η= 1 for large M^2 and K^2. The heat transfer characteristic has also been studied on taking viscous and Joule dissipation into account. It is seen that the temperature increases with increase in either M^2 or K^2. It is found that the rate of heat transfer at the disk η= 0 increases with increase in either M or K. On the other hand the rate of heat transfer at the disk η= 1 increases with increase in K but decreases with increase in M.展开更多
