Unsteady mixed convection along a permeable exponentially stretching surface

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider the influence of slip flow and thermal jump and to investigate its effects on unsteady mixed convection along an exponentially stretching surface. It is also intended to explore the influence of suction/injection and volumetric heat source/sink on the fluid flow. Design/methodology/approach The assumed problem is modelled into governing equations which are dimensional non-linear partial differential equations in nature. To obtain solutions, initially the governing equations were made non-dimensional by the suitable non-similar transformations. Then, the dimensionless non-linear partial differential equations are linearized with the aid of Quasilinearization technique. The so obtained equations are discretized by the implicit finite difference method. Findings The detailed analysis of the considered problem displays that the non-similarity variable reduces the velocity and temperature profiles. For higher values of mixed convection parameter, the magnitude of velocity profile as well as the Nusselt number increase. The unsteady variable diminishes the fluid flow. The higher values of velocity ratio parameter reduce the skin-friction coefficient. Further, the magnitude of skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer rate are to minimize for increasing values of partial slip and thermal jump parameters, respectively. Volumetric heat source and injection parameters are to rise the flow behavior within the momentum and thermal boundary layers significantly. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, no such investigation has been found in the literature.

Effects of velocity, thermal and concentration slips on the entropy generation of nanofluid over an inclined sheet

“…But none of the above works looked into the entropy generation; rather, many or all of these focus on the prediction of temperature, velocity profiles and parametric effects of these factors on the Nusselt number as well as friction factor. A comprehensive discussion on S gen and Be can be found in many literatures (Awad and Muzychka, 2012; Awad, 2015, 2016; Patil and Shashikanta, 2018; Patil et al., 2018, 2019; Gireesha and Sindhu, 2020).…”

Computational analysis of bio-convective eyring-powell nanofluid flow with magneto-hydrodynamic effects over an isothermal cone surface with convective boundary condition

“…Patil et al [ [67] , [68] , [69] , [70] , [71] ] examined the behavior of a non-Newtonian fluid model under convective boundary situations and evaluated it numerically by employing the finite difference quasilinearization method. Additionally, Patil et al [ [72] , [73] , [74] , [75] , [76] ] looked at the mass and heat transfer of various geometries and diverse nanoparticle types.…”

MHD Free Convection Heat Transfer in Nano-Fluid Flow in Square Porous Cavity of TiO2 Nanoparticles with Base Fluid Engine Oil

“…Alqaed et al, [22] looks at the free convective heat transfer and entropy production of H2O/Al2O3 NFs in an inclined rectangular hollow with two blades on the bottom. Patil et al, [23,24,27,28], Patil and Shankar [25], and Patil and Benawadi [26] investigated the heat transfer phenomena in vertical sheet and found the better results. Patil et al, [23,[29][30][31][32] also studies the concept of hybrid nanofluid in rough sphere and observe that when for attractive magnitudes of small parameter, the friction at the surface and the Nusselt number are improved.…”
