The problem of unsteady MHD free convective, incompressible electrically conducting, non-Newtonian fluid through porous medium bounded by an infinite porous plate in the presence of constant suction has been studied. A magnetic field of uniform strength is assumed to be applied normal to the plate. The equations governing the fluid flow which are highly nonlinear are reduced to linear by using perturbation method and have been solved subject to the relevant boundary conditions. It is noted that the velocity of the fluid is increased as Soret number and suction parameter increase, whereas reverse phenomenon is observed in case of magnetic field strength and sink strength.

Magnetic fluid as a functional material can produce volume force under external magnetic field, for the purpose of controlling the magnetic fluid flow state in the non-magnetic sealing groove with external magnetic field, the volume force is written as a function form of AZ to do with the numerical simulation of magnetic fluid flow in the sealing groove. The result shows that the magnetic fluid which distributes at the right-angle edges of the two permanent magnets nearby the separator presents unsteady swirl flow due to the volume force, while the rest magnetic fluid is in the quiescent state. It means that the magnetic fluid seal method can effectively solve the air leakage of band sintering machine and circular cooling machine.
