In this study, we discussed the enhancement of thermal conductivity of elasticoviscous fluid filled with nanoparticles, due to the implementation of radiation and convective boundary condition. The flow is considered impinging obliquely in the region of oblique stagnation point on the stretching surface. The obtained governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by employing a suitable transformation. The solution of the resulting equations is computed numerically using Chebyshev spectral newton iterative scheme. An excellent agreement with the results available in literature is obtained and shown through tables. The effects of involving parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer are observed and shown through graphs. It is importantly noted that the larger values of Biot number imply the enhancement in heat transfer, thermal boundary layer thickness, and concentration boundary layer thickness.

Abstract:In this paper, the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic Walters' B' fluid over a stretching surface is examined. It is assumed that the fluid impinges on the wall obliquely. Using similarity variables, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of two non-dimensional ordinary differential equations. These equations are then solved numerically using the shooting method with a finite-difference technique.PACS (

SUMMARYA simple and relatively general analytic expression for the distributed second central moments of scalar concentration is derived. The 'fluctuations' or mean-square values are given in terms of the mean concentration field and apply in either an inertial or cloud centre-of-mass reference frame. Clouds in homogeneous grid turbulence, in the neutral atmospheric boundary layer, and in the inertial sub-range are used as illustrative examples.
