MHD Flow and Heat Transfer of a Jeffrey Fluid over a Porous Stretching/Shrinking Sheet with a Convective Boundary Condition

This work explores the heat transfer flow characteristics of an incompressible non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid over a stretching/shrinking surface with thermal radiation and heat source. The sheet is linearly stretched in the presence of a transverse magnetic field with convective boundary conditions. Appropriate similarity variables are used to transform the basic governing equations (PDEs) into ODEs. The resulting equations are solved by utilizing MATLAB bvp4c. The impact of distinctive physical parameters and dimensionless numbers on the flow field and heat transfer is analysed graphically. It is noticed that the measure of heat raised with increasing the Biot number and opposite effect with the rise of the suction parameter.

Automated summary

This study investigates the heat transfer flow characteristics of an incompressible non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid over a stretching/shrinking surface with thermal radiation and heat source. The analysis shows that the heat is raised with increasing the Biot number and decreases with the rise of the suction parameter.
