Slip Effects on Heat and Mass Transfer of a Non-newtonian Fluid in the Micro-channel

Abstract

Abstract-The effects of velocity-slip and temperature-jump boundary conditions on Non-Newtonian flow and heat transfer in the micro channel have been investigated in this paper. The governing boundary layer equations have been transformed into a system of nonlinear differential equations through the similarity transformation, and the analytical approximations of solutions are derived by homotopy analysis method. The reliability and efficiency of the HAM solutions are verified by the residual errors. Furthermore, the effects of physical factors on the flow and heat are studied and discussed graphically.
