On The Analytic Solution For The Steady Drainage Of Magnetohydrodynamic (Mhd) Sisko Fluid Film Down A Vertical Belt, A. M. Siddiqui, Hameed Ashraf, T. Haroon, A. Walait Jun 2015

On The Analytic Solution For The Steady Drainage Of Magnetohydrodynamic (Mhd) Sisko Fluid Film Down A Vertical Belt, A. M. Siddiqui, Hameed Ashraf, T. Haroon, A. Walait

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper presents an analytic study for the steady drainage of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Sisko fluid film down a vertical belt. The fluid film is assumed to be electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. An analytic solution for the resulting non linear ordinary differential equation is obtained using the Adomian decomposition method. The effects of various available parameters especially the Hartmann number are observed on the velocity profile, shear stress and vorticity vector to get a physical insight of the problem. Furthermore, the shear thinning and shear thickening characteristics of the Sisko fluid are discussed. The …


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.
