Approximate Solutions For The Flow And Heat Transfer Due To A Stretching Sheet Embedded In A Porous Medium With Variable Thickness, Variable Thermal Conductivity And Thermal Radiation Using Laguerre Collocation Method, M. M. Khader, Ahmed M. Megahed

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, a numerical approach is given for studying the flow of a Newtonian fluid over an impermeable stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium with a power law surface velocity and variable thickness in the presence of thermal radiation. The flow is caused by a non-linear stretching of a sheet. Thermal conductivity of the fluid is assumed to vary linearly with temperature. The governing PDEs are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ODEs which are using appropriate boundary conditions for various physical parameters. The proposed method is based on replacement of the unknown function by truncated series …

Boundary-Layer Flow Of Nanofluids Over A Moving Surface In The Presence Of Thermal Radiation, Viscous Dissipation And Chemical Reaction, Eshetu Haile, B. Shankar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The flow problem presented in the paper is boundary-layer flow of nanofluids over a moving surface in the presence of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The plate is assumed to move in the same or opposite direction to the free stream which depends on the sign of the velocity parameter. The partial differential equations appearing in the governing equations are transformed into a couple of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The transformed equations in turn are solved numerically by the shooting method along with the fourth order Runge-Kutta integration technique. Influences of the pertinent parameters in …
