Abstract
Using available experimental data concerning the turbulence suppression co-efficient 2D equations of continuity, momentum and energy for a turbulent flow of a conducting fluid in a circular pipe located in a longitudinal magnetic field of a solenoid of finite length have been solved numerically for the fully developed flow region as well as for the entrance and exit regions. The results have been used to develop a simple method for direct calculations (without solving a system of equations) of the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a wide range of determining criteria.
