Numerical study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of oldroyd-B nanofluid towards a stretching sheet.
In the present article, we considered two-dimensional steady incompressible Oldroyd-B nanofluid flow past a stretching sheet. Using appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary (similarity) equations, which are then solved numerically. The effects...

| Résumé: | In the present article, we considered two-dimensional steady incompressible Oldroyd-B nanofluid flow past a stretching sheet. Using appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary (similarity) equations, which are then solved numerically. The effects of various parameters, namely, Deborah numbers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], Prandtl parameter [Formula: see text], Brownian motion [Formula: see text], thermophoresis parameter [Formula: see text] and Lewis number [Formula: see text], on flow and heat transfer are investigated. To see the validity of the present results, we have made the comparison of present results with the existing literature. |
