• COMBINED EFFECTS OF NON-UNIFORM HEAT SOURCE/SINK AND RADIATION ON HEAT TRANSFER OF A DUSTY FLUID OVER A STRETCHING SHEET

Abstract

The present analysis consists of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of radiation and non uniform heat source/sink. Similarity transformation is used to simplify the governing equations. Here two different types of boundary heating are considered, namely PST and PHF. These equations are solved numerically by using Runge Kutta Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method (RKF45 Method). The effects of flow parameters like radiation, fluid particle interaction, non-uniform heat source/sink and Prandtl number on temperature distribution are studied. Comparison of the numerical results is made with previously published results under special cases, and the results are found to be in good agreement.
