Abstract
We construct a semi analytic model for relativistic magnetohydrodynamic o ows in Kerr geometry that incorporates energy loading via annihilation of neutrinos emanating from the hot accretion disk We discuss the effect of the load on the activation of the Blandford Znajek mechanism as well as the implications of our results to gamma ray bursts
