Hydromagnetic Flow And Heat Transfer Of Eyring-Powell Fluid Over An Oscillatory Stretching Sheet With Thermal Radiation, S. U. Khan, N. Ali

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An analysis is carried out to investigate the magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer in an unsteady flow of Eyring-Powell fluid over an oscillatory stretching surface. The radiation effects are also considered in energy equation. The flow is induced due to infinite elastic sheet which is stretched periodically back and forth in its own plane. Finite difference scheme is used to solve dimensionless partial differential equations. The effects of emerging parameters on both velocity and temperature profiles are illustrated through graphs. The results obtained by means of finite difference scheme are compared with earlier studies and found in excellent agreement.


Unsteady Boundary Layer Flow Of Thermophoretic Mhd Nanofluid Past A Stretching Sheet With Space And Time Dependent Internal Heat Source/Sink, N. Sandeep, C. Sulochana, C. S. K. Raju, M. J. Babu, V. Sugunamma Jun 2015

Unsteady Boundary Layer Flow Of Thermophoretic Mhd Nanofluid Past A Stretching Sheet With Space And Time Dependent Internal Heat Source/Sink, N. Sandeep, C. Sulochana, C. S. K. Raju, M. J. Babu, V. Sugunamma

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this study we analyze the boundary layer flow of a thermophoretic magnetohydrodynamic dissipative nanofluid over an unsteady stretching sheet in a porous medium with space and time dependent internal heat source/sink. The governing equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by using the Shooting Technique. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, friction factor, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through graphs and tables. Accuracy of the results compared with the existing ones. Excellent agreement is found with earlier studies.
