The transformation group theoretic approach is applied to the problem of the flow of an electrically conducting incompressible viscoelastic fluid near the forward stagnation point of a heated plate. The application of one-parameter transformation group reduces the number of independent variables, by one, and consequently the basic equations governing flow and heat transfer are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations. These equations have been solved approximately subject to the relevant boundary conditions by employing the shooting numerical technique. The effect of the magnetic parameter M, the Prandtl number Pr and the non-dimensional elastic parameter representing the non- Newtonian character of the fluid k on velocity field, shear stress, temperature distribution and heat flux are carefully examined.

AbstractThe solutions for flow and heat transfer in a steady laminar boundary layer flow are presented analytically for an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid, subject to a transverse uniform magnetic field, past a semi-infinite stretching sheet. The temperature profiles and thermal characteristics at the wall are drawn and tabulated for selected parameters with prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed surface heat flux (PHF) conditions. We also give the asymptotic solutions for temperature when the Prandtl number is very large. It is found that the inclusion of Joule heating has a significant influence on the thermal characteristics at the wall and the wall heat transfer strongly depends on the Prandtl number Pr as well as the Eckert number Ec. The heat flow may transfer from the fluid to the wall when Ec is large rather than from wall to the fluid when Ec is small. A physical argument about the thermal characteristics at the wall is proposed.

Here, in this research article, we have investigated an incompressible viscoelastic fluid flow over a uniform stretching surface sheet along with slip boundary conditions in the presence of porous media. The partial differential equations which govern the fluid flow are changed into ordinary differential equations through suitable similarity transformation variables. Finally, the transformed ordinary differential equations are solved with the help of a seminumerical technique known as the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The uniqueness of our study is not only to analyze and carry out the effect of the elastic parameter but also to account for viscous dissipation which is important in the case of optically transparent flow. The novel effects for the parameters which affect the flow and heat transfer, such as the Eckert number, porous medium parameter, and the velocity slip parameter, are studied through graphs. Also, the convergence analysis for the proposed method is addressed. Additionally, for the sake of validation, the present work is also compared with the already published work and an outstanding agreement is found.

AbstractIn this article the stagnation point flow of electrically conducting micro nanofluid towards a shrinking sheet, considering a chemical reaction of first order is investigated. Involvement of magnetic field occurs in the momentum equation, whereas the energy and concentrations equations incorporated the influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Convective boundary condition on temperature and zero mass flux condition on concentration are implemented. Partial differential equations are converted into the ordinary ones using suitable variables. The numerical technique is utilized to discuss the results for velocity, microrotation, temperature, and concentration fields.


Heat transfer behavior of unsteady flow of squeezing nanofluid (Copper+water) between two parallel plates is investigated. By using the appropriate transformation for the velocity and temperature, the basic equations governing the flow and heat transfer were reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations. These equations subjected to the associated boundary conditions were solved analytically using Homotopy Perturbation Method and numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. Effects on the behavior of velocity and temperature for various values of relevant parameters are illustrated graphically. The skin-friction coefficient, heat transfer and Nusselt number rate are also tabulated for various governing parameters. The results indicate that, for nanofluid flow, the rates of heat transfer and velocity had direct relationship with squeeze number and nanoparticle volume fraction they are also a decreasing function of those parameters

This paper studies the effects of Hall and ion slip on two dimensional incompressible flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting viscous fluid in a porous medium between two parallel plates, generated due to periodic suction and injection at the plates. The flow field, temperature and pressure are assumed to be periodic functions in ti e ω and the plates are kept at different but constant temperatures. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations is obtained using quasilinearization method. The graphs for velocity, temperature distribution and skin friction are presented for different values of the fluid and geometric parameters.
