    Abstract: Egyptian oil shale from Wadii El-Nakhil, Red sea region was upgraded using enhanced gravity separation. The oil shale sample was characterized physically and chemically to determine its mineral content and characteristics. The sample includes quartz, siderite, apatite, anhydrite and calcite. The clay mineral is mainly represented by kaolinite while... Show More

    Abstract: We analyze the effects of hall current and radiation on unsteady hydro magnetic free convection flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an inclined parabolic accelerated plate in a porous medium by applying a transverse magnetic field which makes an angle α to the inclined plate. The fluid is assumed to be viscous, incom... Show More
