Radiation Effects on the Flow of Powell-Eyring Fluid Past an Unsteady Inclined Stretching Sheet with Non-Uniform Heat Source/Sink

Abstract

This study investigates the unsteady flow of Powell-Eyring fluid past an inclined stretching sheet. Unsteadiness in the flow is due to the time-dependence of the stretching velocity and wall temperature. Mathematical analysis is performed in the presence of thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink. The relevant boundary layer equations are reduced into self-similar forms by suitable transformations. The analytic solutions are constructed in a series form by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence interval of the auxiliary parameter is obtained. Graphical results displaying the influence of interesting parameters are given. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are computed and analyzed.

Dual solutions for unsteady flow of Powell-Eyring fluid past an inclined stretching sheet

“…It is also observed that the velocity and temperature profiles shown better enhancement in injection case compared with suction case. Tsai et al (2008), Hayat et al (2015). Under some special conditions present results have an excellent agreement with the existed results.…”

“…Results are computed through homotopy analysis method. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Convergence of the constructed series solutions is ensured. Solutions expressions are analyzed via graphs and tabular values for different quantities.…”
