This study dealt with a theoretical analysis of two-phase flow and heat transfer in a horizontal channel in the presence of an applied electric field and inclined magnetic field has been investigated. The inclined magnetic field is a strong magnetic field and the induced magnetic field is produced along the flow direction. The fluids in both phases were incompressible and the flow was assumed to be steady, one-dimensional and fully developed. Further it is also assumed that the two fluids have different viscosities and thermal conductivities. In this paper, we have investigated the upper phase of the two fluids which is assumed to be electrically conducting and that of the lower phase is electrically non-conducting. The transport properties of the two fluids were taken to be constant and equal temperature.
