Abstract: | The effects of partial slip on the steady flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting, incompressible, third grade
fluid past a horizontal plate subject to uniform suction and blowing is investigated. Two distinct heat transfer problems
are studied. In the first case, the plate is assumed to be at a higher temperature than the fluid; and in the second case,
the plate is assumed to be insulated. The momentum equation is characterized by a highly nonlinear boundary value problem
in which the order of the differential equation exceeds the number of available boundary conditions. Numerical solutions for
the governing nonlinear equations are obtained over the entire range of physical parameters. The effects of slip, magnetic
parameter, non-Newtonian fluid characteristics on the velocity and temperature fields are discussed in detail and shown graphically.
It is interesting to find that the velocity and the thermal boundary layers decrease with an increase in the slip, and as
the slip increases to infinity, the flow behaves as though it were inviscid. |
