The effects of pressure stress work and viscous dissipation in mixed convection flow along a vertical flat plate have been investigated. The results are obtained numerically by transforming the governing system of boundary layer equations into a system of non-dimensional equations. Numerical results for different values of pressure stress work parameter, viscous dissipation parameter, and Prandtl number have been obtained. The velocity profiles, temperature distributions, skin friction coefficient, and the rate of heat transfer have been presented graphically for the effects of the aforementioned parameters. Results are compared with previous investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
