Description
Summary:In this article, the flow of an incompressible nanoliquid induced due to unsteady contracting cylinder is investigated. Analysis of heat transport phenomenon is reported under uniform heat absorption/generation and convective type boundary condition. A set of transformations is implemented to reduce PDEs to ODEs. The obtained coupled nonlinear equations are treated numerically through the help of RKF 45 technique. Physical evaluation of convective condition and heat absorption/generation on thermal analysis is discussed through graphs. Output shows that both the parameters of convective condition and heat absorption/generation give an increment in liquid temperature and its related thickness of boundary layer.
