“…Numerous studies have been presented on various aspects of stretching flows since the seminal work by Crane (1970). One may refer to recent investigations by , Fang et al (2010), Khan and Pop (2010), Ahmad and Asghar (2011), Kandasamy et al (2011), Rashidi et al (2011), , Yao et al (2011) and Makinde and Aziz (2011) in this direction. On the other hand, mass transfer is important due to its appearance in many scientific disciplines that involve convective transfer of atoms and molecules.…”

-Effect of mass transfer in the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Casson fluid over a porous stretching sheet is addressed in the presence of a chemical reaction. A series solution for the resulting nonlinear flow is computed. The skin friction coefficient and local Sherwood number are analyzed through numerical values for various parameters of interest. The velocity and concentration fields are illustrated for several pertinent flow parameters. We observed that the Casson parameter and Hartman number have similar effects on the velocity in a qualitative sense. We further analyzed that the concentration profile decreases rapidly in comparison to the fluid velocity when we increased the values of the suction parameter.

“…Thus, to estimate the value of η ∞ , we start with some initial guess value and solve the boundary value problem given by Eqs. (14) to (15) to obtain the values of f (0) and θ (0). The solution process is repeated with another large value of η ∞ until two successive values of f (0) and θ (0) differ only after a desired significant digit.…”

“…(14)- (15) are of third order in f and second order in θ , which have been reduced to a system of five simultaneous equations of first order for five unknowns. In order to solve this system of equations numerically, we require five initial conditions, but two initial conditions on f and one initial condition on θ are known.…”

Unsteady Convective Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer over a Stretching Surface with Non-Uniform Heat Source/Sink and Thermal Radiation

The effects of thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink on mixed convection flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching permeable sheet are studied. The effects of physical parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as on the heat transfer rate and skin friction are analyzed. It is found that the temperature decreases in assisting/opposing buoyant flows whereas fluid velocity decreases in assisting flow and increases in the opposing flow due to an increase in the values of the unsteadiness parameter. The effect of non-uniform heat source/sink is to increase the velocity and temperature in assisting flow.

“…Some recent advances in this direction can be seen in Refs. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Very recently, Patrick and Magyari [15] studied the generalized Crane flow for an arbitrary stretching velocity subjected to the appropriate lateral transpiration.…”

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer analysis of an incompressible viscous fluid for a hyperbolically stretching sheet is presented. The analytical and numerical results are obtained by a series expansion method and a local non-similarity (LNS) method, respectively. The analytical and numerical results for the skin friction and the Nusselt number are calculated and compared with each other. The significant observation is that the momentum and the thermal boundary layer thickness decrease as the distance from the leading edge increases. The well-known solution of linear stretching is found as the leading order solution for the hyperbolic stretching.
