Velocity and Thermal Slip Effects on Flow and Heat Transfer due to an Exponentially Stretching Sheet with Viscous Dissipation and

Abstract

In this paper we have studied the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a viscous fluid in presence of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation due to an exponentially stretching sheet. The governing equations of this problem are basically highly non-linear partial differential equations which are converted into ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations techniques. These equations (pde’s) are converted into system of ordinary differential equations of first order and solved numerically by ode45 solver in MATLAB software. The effects of governing parameters on flow and heat transfer analyzed and interpreted through graphs. Numerical values of skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are calculated for different values of governing parameters and tabulated. Under some limiting conditions our current result agree very well with available results in the literature.
