Effect of partial slip on boundary layer mixed convective flow adjacent to a vertical permeable stretching sheet in porous medium

摘要

A steady boundary layer mixed convective flow of Newtonian fluids in a vertical permeable stretching sheet in porous medium is analyzed, with partial slip condition at the boundary. Applying similarity transformations, the self-similar equations are obtained from the governing equations and are solved numerically using the shooting method. From the analysis it reveals that the enhancement of the buoyancy or mixed convection parameter increases the velocity and decreases the temperature. Due to the increase of slip parameter, the momentum boundary layer thickness increases. The Prandtl number has also significant effects on velocity field and for the increase of the Prandtl number, the velocity as well as the velocity boundary layer thickness decrease. Furthermore, the wall skin friction and the rate of heat transfer from the sheet decrease with the increase in slip parameter.
