BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW AND HEAT TRANSEFER OF DUSTY FLUID OVER A STRETCHING SHEET WITH HEAT SOURCE/SINK

In this paper, we contemplate to study the unsteady dusty fluid problem over a continuous Impermeable stretching sheet in the presence of heat source / sink. The highly non-linear, coupled partial differential equations governing the momentum and heat transfer equations are reduced to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformation. These non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique for different values of the parameters. These includes the effect of unsteady parameter, heat source/sink parameter, Froud number, Grashof number, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Volume fraction, fluid interaction parameter etc. The velocity and temperature distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Skinfriction coefficient and the Nusselt number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables. A numbers of qualitatively distinct potential scenarios are predicted. It is believed that the results obtained from the present investigation will provide useful information for application and also serve as a complement to the previous investigations.
