Mhd Flow and Heat Transfer of an Eyring - Powell Fluid Over a Linear Stretching Sheet With Viscous Dissipation - a Numerical Study

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The present work is devoted to study the numerical simulation of steady magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of an Eyring-Powell fluid over a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation.The fluid is taken to be two dimensional electrically conducting and the flow is induced by a stretching surface.The basic governing partial differential equations of non-Newtonian fluid are reduced into the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations.The resulting ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically using shooting method with fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme.The effects of Hartmann number, Eckert number, Grashoff number and Eyring-Powell fluid parameters on the velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number are analyzed graphically.The result reveals that the effects of non-Newtonian fluid parameters γ and β on velocity and temperature profiles are completely dissimilar.A comparison with the earlier available work shows excellent agreement.
