Effect of space and temperature dependent internal heat generation/absorption on Casson fluid flow in the presence of an inclined magnetic field

Abstract

The present study focuses on the inclined magnetic field effect on Casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink. The velocity slip boundary conditions are considered. A similarity transformation of governing equation is used to reduce into a non-dimensional form. The flow and thermal equations are derived and solved analytically by using confluent hypergeometric function and numerically by using shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta fourth order. Results for various flow characteristics are presented through graphs. It is found that increasing the values of the inclined magnetic field enhances the thermal boundary layer. Also observed that the increasing value of non-uniform heat source/sink parameter increase the thermal boundary layer thickness.

Unsteady natural convection flow of a dusty non-Newtonian Casson fluid along a vertical wavy plate: numerical approach

“…It is found that, as the Casson parameter increases, the wall skin friction decreases; an analytical solution for flow of Casson fluid along a stretching surface with considering of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation effects [22]. It is observed that the thermal radiation effect on the temperature is very large in the case of injection than the suction case; the influence of an inclined magnetic field with the velocity slip boundary conditions on the flow of Casson fluid along a stretching sheet [23]. The results refer to the momentum boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing magnetic parameter and angle parameter, slip parameter and Casson parameter; the flow of an unsteady MHD mixed convection of Casson fluid in the recession area of a headily rotating sphere [24]; entropy generation analysis for the unsteady problem of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian Casson fluid along stretching sheet with magnetic field effect [25].…”
