• UNSTEADY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW OF DUSTY FLUID OVER A VERTICAL STRETCHING SHEET IN THE PRESENCE OF NON-UNIFORM HEAT SOURCE/SINK

Abstract

This paper presents the two dimensional mixed convective flow of an electrically conducting dusty fluid over a porous stretching sheet in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink. Where the flow is due to a stretching sheet and the fluid is assumed to be viscous and incompressible. The equations governing the flow and temperature fields are reduced to coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by using RKF-45 method. Numerical results are bench marked with the earlier studies and found to be in excellent agreement. Finally the pertinent parameter which are of physical and engineering interest are discussed graphically.
