Fluid flow and radiative nonlinear heat transfer over a stretching sheet
In the present paper, we endeavor to perform a numerical analysis in connection with the boundary layer flow induced in a quiescent fluid by a continuous sheet stretching with velocity uw (x) ∼x1/3 with heat transfer. The effects of thermal radiation using the nonlinear Rosseland approximation are i...

In the present paper, we endeavor to perform a numerical analysis in connection with the boundary layer flow induced in a quiescent fluid by a continuous sheet stretching with velocity uw (x) ∼x1/3 with heat transfer. The effects of thermal radiation using the nonlinear Rosseland approximation are investigated. We search for similarity solutions and reduce the problem to a couple of ordinary differential equations containing three dimensionless parameters: the radiation parameter NR, the temperature ratio parameter θw and the Prandtl number Pr. The computational results for velocity, temperature and heat transfer characteristics are presented in both graphical and tabular forms. |
