The problem of boundary layer flow of an incompressible fluid over a moving porous flat plate is investigated, by taking into account the heat due to viscous dissipation. The governing boundary layer equations of this flow field were solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. These new exact analytical solutions for velocity and temperature were obtained with arbitrary Prandtl number and dissipation parameter (or Eckert number Ec). The corresponding solutions for nonporous plate are discussed. Applying numerical values into the analytical expressions of the temperature and heat transfer coefficient, we also discussed the effects of the dissipation parameter in the cases of water, gas, and ammonia flow. We can finally deduce that the fluid temperature of the present problem will increase in the case of viscous dissipation with positive Ec, but this temperature will decrease with negative Ec.

An analytical study is performed to explore the flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid (Al2O3-water and TiO3-water) over a linearly stretching porous sheet in the presence of radiation, ohmic heating, and viscous dissipation. Homotopy perturbed method is used and complete solution is presented, the results for the nanofluids velocity and temperature are obtained. The effects of various thermophysical parameters on the boundary-layer flow characteristics are displayed graphically and discussed quantitatively. The effect of viscous dissipation on the thermal boundary-layer is seen to be reverse after a fixed distance from the wall, which is very strange in nature and is the result of a reverse flow. The finding of this paper is unique and may be useful for future research on nanofluid.

In this paper, the theoretical study on the laminar boundary-layer flow of ferrofluid with influences of magnetic field and thermal radiation is investigated. The viscosity of ferrofluid flow over a solid sphere surface is examined theoretically for magnetite volume fraction by using boundary-layer equations. The governing equations are derived by applied the non-similarity transformation then solved numerically by utilizing the Keller-box method. It is found that the increments in ferro-particles (Fe3O4) volume fraction declines the fluid velocity but elevates the fluid temperature at a sphere surface. Consequently, the results showed viscosity is enhanced with the increase of the ferroparticles volume fraction and acts as a pivotal role in the distribution of velocity, temperature, reduced skin friction coefficient, and reduced Nusselt number of ferrofluid.

An unsteady, two-dimensional, hydromagnetic, laminar mixed convective boundary layer flow of an incompressible and electrically-conducting fluid along an infinite vertical plate embedded in the porous medium with heat and mass transfer is analyzed, by taking into account the effect of viscous dissipation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Numerical evaluation of the analytical results is performed and graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer are discussed. The results show that increased cooling (Gr > 0) of the plate and the Eckert number leads to a rise in the velocity profile. Also, an increase in Eckert number leads to an increase in the temperature. Effects of Sc on velocity and concentration are discussed and shown graphically.

An unsteady, two-dimensional, hydromagnetic, laminar free convective boundary-layer flow of an incompressible, Newtonian, electrically-conducting and radiating fluid past an infinite heated vertical porous plate with heat and mass transfer is analyzed, by taking into account the effect of viscous dissipation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic functions. Numerical evaluation of the analytical results is performed and graphical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer and tabulated results for the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented and discussed. It is observed that, when the radiation parameter increases, the velocity and temperature decrease in the boundary layer, whereas when thermal and solutal Grashof increases the velocity increases.

The main objective of this paper is to focus on a numerical study of chemical reaction and viscous dissipation effects on the steady state boundary layer flow of MHD nanofluid past the horizontally stretching sheet with the existence of nanoparticles. A proper similarity transformation is utilized to convert the boundary layer equations into the nonlinear and coupled ordinary differential equations. These ODEs are sorted out numerically by applying the shooting mechanism. Graphical representations are also included to explain the effect of evolving parameters against the above-mentioned distributions. Significance of different physical parameters on dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are elaborated through graphs and tables. For increasing values of Eckert number, the temperature profile increases whereas the chemical reaction parameter increases, the boundary layer thickness decreases.

We find certain exact solutions of Jeffery-Hamel type for the boundary-layer equations for film flow over certain beds. If β is the angle of the bed with the horizontal and S is the arclength these beds have equation sin β = (const.)S−3, and allow a description of flows on concave and convex beds. The velocity profiles are markedly different from the semi-Poiseuille flow on a plane bed.We also find a class of beds in which the Jeffery-Hamel flows appear as a first approximation throughout the flow field, which is infinite in streamwise extent. Since the parameter γ specifying the Jeffery-Hamel flow varies in the streamwise direction this allows a description of flows over curved beds which are slowly varying, as described in the theory, in such a way that the local approximation is that Jeffery-Hamel flow with the local value of γ. This allows the description of flows with separation and reattachment of the main stream in some cases.
