Mixed convection two-phase flow of Maxwell fluid under the influence of non-linear thermal radiation, non-uniform heat source/sink and fluid-particle suspension

A detailed investigation of two-dimensional mixed convection flow of non-Newtonian fluid due to convectively heated stretching sheet in the presence of dust particles is conducted. The influence of viscous dissipation, nonlinear thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink is considered in the...

description A detailed investigation of two-dimensional mixed convection flow of non-Newtonian fluid due to convectively heated stretching sheet in the presence of dust particles is conducted. The influence of viscous dissipation, nonlinear thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink is considered in the heat transport equation. To simulate the nonlinear thermal radiation effect, the Rosseland approximation has been used. The governing equations are transformed into a set of self-similar nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of suitable similarity transformations, which are then solved numerically by using Shooting method. The influence of pertinent parameters on the velocity and temperature distributions of both fluid and particle phases inside the boundary layer is observed and discussed in detail. Further, the features of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number for different values of the governing parameters are also analysed and discussed. Moreover, the numerical results of present study and those existing ones are tabulated for some limiting case.
