| description | Numerical investigation for the effect of thermal stratification on MHD flow and heat transfer of dusty fluid over a vertical stretching sheet embedded in a thermally stratified porous medium in the presence of uniform heat source and thermal radiation. The governing equations for the problem were reduced in to dimensionless ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations are numerically solved by applying efficient RungeKutta Fehlberg-45 Method with shooting technique. The effects of various flow controlling parameters such as Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, fluid particle interaction parameter, heat source parameter, radiation parameter on velocity and temperature distributions of both fluid and dust phases are depicted graphically. Finally, the numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results under special cases. The results indicate that the fluid phase velocity is always greater than that of the particle phase and thermal stratification significantly affects the surface shear stress as well as the surface heat transfer. |
