Analysis of Heat Transfer of Power-Law Fluid Along a Vertical Stretching Cylinder

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the heat transfer enhancement of power-law fluid over a vertical stretching cylinder. The model is governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) which is then converted into a coupled system of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Here both velocity and temperature profiles have been constructed for different physical parameters such as, Reynold number, Prandtl number, Eckert number, unsteadiness, mixed convective and magnetic-parameters. The obtained results have been compared with the existing literature that reveals the accuracy of the proposed scheme. Moreover, it has been noticed during the study that the power-law energy is getting enhanced corresponding to these parameters, which can be viewed in graphical simulations. In addition, the numerical computations of local-skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are tabulated.
