Synopsis

The analysis developed by the author in a previous paper is used to discuss two magnetohydrodynamic duct flows for which the boundary conditions are not of Dirichlet type. To the accuracy stated, the results obtained confirm those obtained by previous authors who used different approaches to the problems. A feature of the present analysis is that it yields the magnitude of the error entailed by the use of approximate forms for flow quantities. This has been lacking in previous analyses.
