A numerical and analytical study of a two fluid magnetohydrodynamic Poiseuille-Couette flow in an inclined channel is investigated. The fluids in both the regions are incompressible, electrically conducting and the transport properties are assumed to be constant. The channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. Separate solutions for each fluid are obtained and these solutions are matched at the interface using suitable matching conditions. The governing equations of motion are solved analytically and are valid for small Eckert numbers and numerically valid for large . Solutions for large show a marked change on the velocity and temperature profiles. The results are presented graphically for various Hartmann number, Grashof number, angle of inclination and also for various ratios. It is found that the flow can be controlled effectively by a suitable choice of values of ratios of electrical conductivities, widths, viscosities and thermal conductivities.
