Hydromagnetic free and forced convection in a parallel plate channel permeated by a transverse magnetic field has been considered taking Hall effects into account. When there is a uniform axial temperature variation along the walls, the primary flow shows incipient flow reversal at the upper plate for an increase in temperature along that plate. Similarly flow reversal at the lower plate occurs for a decrease in temperature along that plate. Hall currents are found to exert a destabilizing influence on the flow. The skin-friction for the cross-flow increases with the Hall parameter. The induced magnetic field and the heat transfer characteristics in the flow are also determined. (auth)
