• An exact analysis of the MHD flow of a rarefied gas in a rotating flat‐plate channel is presented. The channel is assumed to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the plates, which are assumed to be finitely electrically conducting. Velocity profiles, magnetic field lines, and the function affecting the temperature field are shown on graphs. The numerical values of the axial and transverse skin friction, axial and transverse components of the mass flux, and the function affecting the rate of heat transfer are entered in Tables. The results are discussed in terms of the parameters M (Hartmann number), α (Ekman number), λ (slip‐parameter), Γ (temperature jump coefficient), ϕ1, ϕ2 (electrical conductance ratios of the upper and lower plates, respectively).
