Boundary Layer Analysis of MHD Newtonian/Non Newtonian Liquid Flow Due to Curved Stretching Surface with Irregular Heat Source/Sink and Frictional Heating Effects

Abstract

Abstract: Modeling and computational framework are carried out to explore the influence of irregular heat source/sink and viscous dissipation on magnetohydrodynamic flow of Newtonian/non-Newtonian liquid due to a curved stretching sheet. An appropriate similarity conversion is implemented to convert the basic flow equations into dimensionless ODE’s and they being solved by means of Runge-Kutta method with shooting scheme. Numerical outcomes of drive, thermal and concentration distributions, also wall friction, thermal and mass transport rates are explored through graphical trends and tabular values. Simultaneous solutions are drawn for Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. The major findings of this study are rising the curvature parameter values inflates the momentum boundary layer, ergo develops the velocity distributions. Also, the heat transfer rate under the influence of irregular heat generation/absorption and dissipation effects is remarkably large for non-Newtonian liquid as compared with Newtonian liquid.
