Flow and Heat Transfer due to an a Shrinking Sheet with Second Order Slip

Abstract

This paper considers the study of viscous flow and heat transfer over a shrinking sheet considering the effect of second order slip. The governing partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer are transferred into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation. The exponential form of solution for momentum is assumed and governing heat transfer equation is solved analytically by power series method in terms of Kummer’s Hypergeometric function. The effects of various physical parameters on flow and heat transfer are investigated with graphical illustrations.
