In this paper we study the partial slip effects on the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet. The velocity slip boundary condition based on the Sisko constitutive fluid model is introduced. Suitable dimensionless variables are used to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by the Runge–Kutta Fehlberg method. Additionally, the exact analytical solutions are presented in some special cases. The computational results for the velocity, temperature, skin-friction coefficient, and Nusselt number are presented in graphical and tabular forms. To validate the numerical results obtained, a comparison is made with the exact analytical solutions. The analysis of the results obtained shows that enhancement in the velocity slip parameter reduces the velocity as well as the momentum boundary layer thickness. However, quite the opposite is true with the temperature and corresponding thermal boundary layer thickness.

The flow and heat transfer of Casson fluid from a permeable isothermal sphere in the presence of slip condition in a non-Darcy porous medium is analyzed. The sphere surface is maintained at a constant temperature. The boundary layer conservation equations, which are parabolic in nature, are normalized into non-similar form and then solved numerically with the well-tested, efficient, implicit, stable Keller-box finite-difference scheme. Increasing the velocity slip parameter is found to decrease the velocity and boundary layer thickness and increases the temperature and the boundary layer thickness. The velocity decreases with the increase the non-Darcy parameter and is found to increase the temperature. The velocity increases with the increase the Casson fluid parameter and is found to decrease the temperature. The Skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number is found to decrease with the increase in velocity and thermal slip parameters respectively.

This work deliberates the MHD flow of Carreau liquid past a stretching plate with thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating. Additionally, partial velocity slip and Newtonian heating effects are included in our study. The similarity transformations are used to convert the governing dimensional partial differential equations into dimensionless ordinary differential equations. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to find the convergent series solutions of the governed non-linear ordinary differential equations. It is found that the magnetic field parameter slowdown the liquid motion and rises the liquid temperature. In addition, heat generation parameter enhances the thermal boundary layer thickness and chemical reaction parameter suppresses the solutal boundary layer thickness.

In this study, we present a steady three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer characteristics of a viscous fluid due to a bidirectional stretching sheet in a porous medium. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two heating processes namely (i) the prescribed surface temperature (PST) and (ii) prescribed surface heat flux (PHF). In addition the heat transfer rate varies along the surface. The similarity solution of the governing boundary layer partial differential equations is developed by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). The quantities of interest are velocity, temperature, skin-friction and wall heat flux. The results obtained are presented through graphs and tabular data. It is observed that both velocity and boundary layer thickness decreases by increasing the porosity and magnetic field. This shows that application of magnetic and porous medium cause a control on the boundary layer thickness. Moreover, the results are also compared with the existing values in the literature and found in excellent agreement.

In this study, we discussed the enhancement of thermal conductivity of elasticoviscous fluid filled with nanoparticles, due to the implementation of radiation and convective boundary condition. The flow is considered impinging obliquely in the region of oblique stagnation point on the stretching surface. The obtained governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by employing a suitable transformation. The solution of the resulting equations is computed numerically using Chebyshev spectral newton iterative scheme. An excellent agreement with the results available in literature is obtained and shown through tables. The effects of involving parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer are observed and shown through graphs. It is importantly noted that the larger values of Biot number imply the enhancement in heat transfer, thermal boundary layer thickness, and concentration boundary layer thickness.

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid over a stretching sheet are numerically studied. Velocity slip is considered instead of no-slip condition at the boundary as is usually appears in the literature. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary ones using a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained using finite element method (FEM). The variations of velocity and temperature inside the boundary layer as well as the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer rate at the surface for some values of the governing parameters, namely, the nanoparticle volume fraction and the slip parameter are presented graphically and discussed. Comparison with published results for the regular fluid is presented and it is found to be in excellent agreement.

This paper investigates the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid in the neighborhood of a stagnation point over a stretching surface in the presence of velocity and thermal slips at the boundary. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The analytic solutions are developed by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results pertaining to the present study indicate that the flow and temperature fields are significantly influenced by Casson parameter (), the magnetic parameter , the velocity slip parameter , and the thermal slip parameter . An increase in the velocity slip parameter causes decrease in the flow velocity, while an increase in the value of the thermal slip parameter causes increase in the temperature of the fluid. It is also observed that the velocity at a point decreases with increase in .

This communication studies the flow and heat transfer characteristics over a continuously moving surface in the presence of a free stream velocity. The Jeffrey fluid is treated as a rheological model. The series expressions of velocity and temperature fields are constructed by applying the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The influence of emerging parameters such as local Deborah number (β), the ratio of relaxation and retardation times (λ2), the Prandtl number (Pr), and the Eckert number (Ec) on the velocity and temperature profiles are presented in the form of graphical and tabulated results for different values of λ. It is found that the boundary layer thickness is an increasing function of local Deborah number (β). However, the temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with the increasing values of local Deborah number (β).

Solutions of the two-dimensional, unsteady integral momentum equation are obtained via the method of characteristics for two limiting modes of light gas launcher operation, the “constant base pressure gun” and the “simple wave gun”. Example predictions of boundary layer thickness and heat transfer are presented for a particular 1 in. hydrogen gun operated in each of these modes. Results for the constant base pressure gun are also presented in an approximate, more general form.

The use of compound-angled shaped film cooling holes in gas turbines provides a method for cooling regions of extreme curvature on turbine blades or vanes. These configurations have received surprisingly little attention in the film cooling literature. In this study, a row of laid-back fanshaped holes based on an open-literature design, were oriented at a 45-degree compound angle to the approaching freestream flow. In this study, the influence of the approach flow boundary layer thickness and character were experimentally investigated. A trip wire and turbulence generator were used to vary the boundary layer thickness and freestream conditions from a thin laminar boundary layer flow to a fully turbulent boundary layer and freestream at the hole breakout location. Steady-state adiabatic effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient augmentation were measured using high-resolution IR thermography, which allowed the use of an elevated density ratio of DR = 1.20. The results show adiabatic effectiveness was generally lower than for axially-oriented holes of the same geometry, and that boundary layer thickness was an important parameter in predicting effectiveness of the holes. Heat transfer coefficient augmentation was highly dependent on the freestream turbulence levels as well as boundary layer thickness, and significant spatial variations were observed.

The effect of variable heat source on viscoelastic fluid of CuO-oil based nanofluid over a porous nonlinear stretching surface is analyzed. The problem was modelled in the form of partial differential equations and transformed into a coupled fourth order ordinary differential equations by similarity techniques. It was further reduced to a system of first order ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm with a shooting method. The results for various controlling parameters have been tabulated and the flow profiles graphically illustrated. The study revealed that the viscoelastic parameter has a decreasing effect on the magnitude of both the skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer from the surface. It enhanced the momentum boundary layer thickness whilst adversely affecting the thermal boundary layer thickness.
