In this current communication thermal characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid flow over a stretching surface with a melting heat transfer effect are discussed. Casson's rheological model is adapted to explain non-Newtonian fluid flow characteristics. The boundary value problem comprising momentum, energy, and concentration equations is turned into a system of ordinary differential equations and then solved by applying the shooting method. Detailed analysis of important engineering quantities such as skin friction and Nusselt number are computed for the non-Newtonian (Casson) model and Newtonian model. Some of the important outcomes are: melting parameter increases velocity and decreases temperature. Thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters increase temperature profiles.
This paper includes numerical simulation upon MHD mixed convective heat transfer properties of stagnation point flow across an angled stretched sheet. Boundary value problem is solved using similarity transformation approach with shooting technique. The impact of different corporeal constraints like mixed convection parameter, thermal radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, Brownian motion and thermophoresis, Casson parameter upon velocity and temp profile as well as skin-friction coefficient , Nusselt number, Sherwood number on velocity, temp concentration profile are shown graphically. Casson parameter increases velocity and diminishes temperature profile. Chemical reaction term decreases Sherwood number and increases concentration profile.
