Viscous flow and heat transfer over a nonlinearly stretching sheet

Effects of viscous dissipation and radiation on the thermal boundary layer over a nonlinearly stretching sheet

This paper presents a study of the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible homogeneous second grade fluid past a stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation. The effects of viscous dissipation and work due to deformation are considered in the energy equation and the variations of dimensionless surface temperature and dimensionless surface temperature gradient with various parameters are graphed and tabulated. Two cases are studied, namely, (i) the sheet with constant surface temperature (CST case) and (ii) the sheet with prescribed surface temperature (PST case).

A note on flow and heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet

Viscoelastic fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching sheet under the effects of a non-uniform heat source, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation

The velocity field and the associated tangential tension corresponding to the flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid over a suddenly moved flat plate are determined. The well-known solutions for a Navier–Stokes fluid, as well as those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid and a second-grade one, appear as limiting cases of our solutions. Finally, some comparative diagrams concerning the velocity and tension profiles are presented for different values of the material constants.

The first problem of Stokes for an Oldroyd-B fluid

An approximate solution to the flow past an impulsively started infinite plate in an elastico-viscous fluid is derived for the velocity and shearing stress. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing the elastic parameterk and the shearing stress decreases with increasingk.

Stokes problem for elastico-viscous fluid

Heat transfer on a semi-infinite plate of micropolar fluid

An analysis of the dispersion of a solute in Rivlin-Ericksen third-order fluid in a parallel plate channel is carried out. It is seen that the solute which is dispersed relative to a plane moving with the mean speed of the flow has its effective Taylor diffusion coefficient which decreases with increasing the non-Newtonian parameter
