Abstract
The aim of the present work is to examine the flow of electrically conducting immiscible Newtonian fluids with variable viscosity through an inclined channel under the influence of a magnetic field. The flow is generated because of a constant pressure gradient. The flow in an inclined channel is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Analytical expressions for the velocity, flow rate, and stress are derived. The influence of various parameters of the problem on the flow characteristics is analyzed.
