Abstract In this present work, forced convection heat transfer from a heated blunt-headed cylinder in power-law fluids has been investigated numerically over the range of parameters, namely, Reynolds number (Re): 1–40, Prandtl number (Pr): 10–100 and power-law index (n): 0.3–1.8. The results are expressed in terms of local parameters, like streamline, isotherm, pressure coefficient, and local Nusselt number and global parameters, like wake length, drag coefficient, and average Nusselt number. The length of the recirculation zone on the rear side of the cylinder increases with the increasing value of Re and n. The effect of the total drag coefficient acting on the cylinder is seen to be higher at the low value of Re and its effect significant in shear-thinning fluids (n < 1). On the heat transfer aspect, the rate of heat transfer in fluids is increased by increasing the value of Re and Pr. The effect of heat transfer is enhanced in shear-thinning fluids up to ∼ 40% and it impedes it’s to ∼20% shear-thickening fluids. In the end, the numerical results of the total drag coefficient and average Nusselt number (in terms of J H −factor) have been correlated by simple expression to estimate the intermediate value for the new application.

In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to analyze the combined electroosmotic and pressure driven flow of power law fluids in a micro channel in the presence of Joule heating effects. The effects of Navier slip boundary condition and thermal radiation is examined for effective heat transfer in a hydrophobic microchannel. The analytical treatment has been performed for fluid flow and heat transfer effects in terms of flow governing parameters. This study highlights the effect of channel height to the electric double layer thickness and observed the flow variation due to heat transfer effect with the available scientific data. For a pure EOF, velocity slip have more significant role to get a maximum flow rate as expected. For both pseudo-plastic and dilatent fluids Nusselt number is decreased with the increment of the hydrophobic parameter and dimensionless pressure gradient where as increment in Joule heating effect enhance the heat transfer rate.
