Magneto-hydro dynamic flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a non-linear stretching surface with viscous dissipation

A fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power law fluid flowing over a non-linear stretching surface in the presence of a transverse magnetic field taking into consideration viscous dissipation effects is investigated. The stretching velocity, the temperature and the transverse magnetic field are assumed to vary in a power-law with the distance from the origin. The flow is induced due to an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched in its own plane. The governing equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. By using quasi-linearization techniques first linearize the non linear momentum equation is linearized and then the coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical solution is found to be dependent on several governing parameters, including the magnetic field parameter, power-law index, Eckert number, velocity exponent parameter, temperature exponent parameter, modified Prandtl number and heat source/sink parameter. A systematic study is carried out to illustrate the effects of these parameters on the fluid velocity and the temperature distribution in the boundary layer. The results for the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated and discussed.

Numerical study of non-Darcy forced convective heat transfer in a power law fluid over a stretching sheet

An analysis has been carried out to study the non-Darcy flow behavior and heat transfer characteristics of a non-Newtonian power law fluid over a non-isothermal stretching sheet with variable thermal conductivity and internal heat generation/absorption. Thermal conductivity is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are converted into ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation. The presence of non-Darcy forced convection and power law index leads to coupling and non-linearity in the boundary value problem. Because of the coupling and non-linearity, the problem has been solved numerically by the Keller box method. The computed values of horizontal velocity and temperature, boundary layer thickness are shown graphically in tables and figures. Several reported works on the problem are obtained as limiting cases of the present study. The results of the study have implications in extrusion processes and in other applications with porous media.
