Thermal Analysis of a Hydromagnetic Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Over a Continuous Curved Stretching Surface in the Presence of Radiative Heat Flux

摘要

This study deals with the flow and heat transfer of 2-D Maxwell fluid due to linear stretching of a curved surface. The heattransfer happens when temperature is specified on the boundary as prescribed surface temperature, PST, and prescribedsurface heat flux, PSHF. The radiation and dissipation effects are incorporated in the energy equation. The modeling ofthe curved structure for a linear stretching velocity of Maxwell fluid is developed. The fluid is electrically conducted in thepresence of varying applied magnetic field. The field quantities which describe the velocity, pressure, and temperature arecalculated numerically. The effects of the radius of curvature, magnetic field, and non-Newtonian parameters are investigatedand explained physically. This analysis adds to the mathematical understanding of boundary-driven flows in non-Newtonianfluids and enlarges the scope of its applications in the polymer industry for curved structures.
