Abstract The temperature distribution in the MHD axial flow between two coaxial infinite cylinders under a transverse radial magnetic field has been found out when there is a discontinuity in the wall temperatures at a section of the channel. The numerical values of temperature distribution at large distances from the section have been worked out first for various Hartman numbers. To this is superimposed the perturbation introduced due to discontinuity. Near the region of discontinuity the approximate matching is done by using the finite difference method. Tables and graphs are given to depict the behaviour with various Hartman numbers. A relief of the temperature distribution is also given. It is found that the temperature shows a decreasing tendency with increasing Hartman number, a well-known characteristic of such type of problems.
