Effect of Radiation and Non-Uniform Heat Source/Sink on Flow over a Linear Stretching Sheet with Fluid Particle Suspension

Abstract

In this paper, the flow and heat transfer of dusty flow over a linear stretchable sheet has been analyzed. The effects of non-linear radiation and non-uniform heat source or sink have been studied. Considering the mentioned terms and conditions, the problem has been formulated. The formulation consists of systems of nonlinear PDEs which has been converted to a system of ODEs by taking suitable similarity transformations. Then the systems of ODEs have been solved by using Rungakutta method of 4th order. The computations work has been carried out by using BVP4C tool of MATLAB. The impact of flow parameters like radiation parameter, prandtl number, eckret number, fluid Particle interaction parameter β and diffusivity parameter on flow and heat transfer are investigated. The results are presented through graphs and tables. From the graphs, it is concluded that the presence of particles in fluid has some impact of different parameters in flow and heat transfer. The parameters like Eckert number, Fluid- particle interaction parameter, diffusivity parameter have remarkable effects of presence of particles
