The main emphasis on this paper is to analyze the axisymmetric flow and heat transfer in a liquid film over an unsteady radially stretching surface in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The similarity transformations are used to reduce the highly nonlinear governing partial differential equations for momentum and energy into a set of ordinary differential equations. A numerical scheme is developed for the reduced nonlinear differential equations for the velocity and temperature fields. The literature survey shows that the present problem of thin film flow over a radially stretching sheet has not been studied before. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristic for different values of governing parameters such as unsteadiness parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, and magnetic parameter are thoroughly examined. This study noticed that, by increasing the magnetic parameter and unsteadiness parameter, film thickness decreases.

Convergence Control

Based on a new kind of analytical approach, namely the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method (OAFM), a new analytical procedure is proposed to solve the problem of the annular axisymmetric stagnation flow and heat transfer on a moving cylinder with finite radius. As a novelty, explicit analytical solutions were obtained for the considered complex problem. First, the Navier–Stokes equations were simplified by means of similarity transformations that depended on different parameters and some combinations of these parameters, and the problem under study was reduced to six nonlinear ordinary differential equations with six unknowns. The OAFM proves to be a powerful tool for finding an accurate analytical solution for nonlinear problems, ensuring a fast convergence after the first iteration, even if the small or large parameters are absent, since the determination of the convergence-control parameters is independent of the magnitude of the coefficients that appear in the nonlinear differential equations. Concerning the main novelties of the proposed approach, it is worth mentioning the presence of some auxiliary functions, the involvement of the convergence-control parameters, the construction of the first iteration and much freedom to select the procedure for determining the optimal values of the convergence-control parameters.

AbstractIn this paper, the effect of thermal radiation, variable viscosity and variable thermal conductivity on the flow and heat transfer of a thin liquid film over an unsteady stretching sheet is analyzed. The continuity, momentum and energy equations, which are coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, are reduced to a set of two non-linear ordinary differential equations, before being solved numerically. Results for the skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, velocity profiles as well as temperature profiles are presented for different values of the governing parameters. It is found that increasing the viscosity parameter leads to a rise in the velocity near the surface of the sheet and a fall in the temperature. Furthermore, it is shown that the temperature increases due to an increase in the values of the thermal conductivity parameter and the thermal radiation parameter, while it decreases with an increase of the Prandtl number.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow over a shrinking or stretching flat sheet is investigated. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by a similarity transformation and are solved numerically with the help of MATLAB software. The numerical results obtained are for different values of the magnetic parameter M, heat generation parameter Q, Prandtl number Pr and reciprocal of magnetic Prandtl number ε. The influences of these parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated and shown in tables and graphs. Two solutions are found for a certain rate of the shrinking strength. The stability of the solutions in the long run is determined, and shows that only one of them is stable. It is found that the skin friction coefficient f ″ ( 0 ) and the local Nusselt number − θ ′ ( 0 ) decrease as the magnetic parameter M increases. Further, the local Nusselt number increases as the heat generation increases.

The heat transfer Magnetohydrodynamics flows have been potentially used to enhance the thermal characteristics of several systems such as heat exchangers, electromagnetic casting, adjusting blood flow, X-rays, magnetic drug treatment, cooling of nuclear reactors, and magnetic devices for cell separation. Our concern in this article is to numerically investigate the flow of an incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics micropolar fluid with heat transportation through a channel having porous walls. By employing the suitable dimensionless coordinates, the flow model equations are converted into a nonlinear system of dimensionless ordinary differential equations, which are then numerically treated for different preeminent parameters with the help of quasi-linearization. The system of complex nonlinear differential equations can efficiently be solved using this technique. Impact of the problem parameters for microrotation, temperature, and velocity are interpreted and discussed through tables and graphs. The present numerical results are compared with those presented in previous literature and examined to be in good contact with them. It has been noted that the imposed magnetic field acts as a frictional force which not only increases the shear stresses and heat transfer rates at the channel walls, but also tends to rotate the micro particles in the fluid more rapidly. Furthermore, viscous dissipation may raise fluid temperature to such a level that the possibility of thermal reversal exists, at the geometric boundaries of the domain. It is therefore recommended that external magnetic fields and viscous dissipation effects may be considered with caution in applications where thermal control is required.

In this study, the flow as well as heat transfer of a classical Newtonian fluid of constant density and viscosity in a porous medium between two radially stretching disks is explored. The role of the porosity of the medium, the stretching of the disks, the viscous dissipation and radiation on the flow and temperature fields is taken into account. The flow and heat equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by invoking the classical similarity transformations. These nonlinear differential equations were linearized using Quasi linearization method. Further the linearized equations were discretized by employing the finite differences which were then solved numerically using the successive over relaxation parameter method. Some features of the flow and temperature are discussed in detail in the form of tables and graphs. The present study may be beneficial in lubricants and computational storage devices as well as fluid flows and heat transmission in rotor-stator systems.
