A Study on Non-Newtonian Transport Phenomena in Mhd Fluid Flow From a Vertical Cone With Navier Slip and Convective Heating

Abstract

In the current study is to examine numerically the effects of presence of a radial magnetic field, slip and jump conditions on the steady two-dimensional free convective boundary layer flow over an external surface of a vertical cone for an electro-conductive polymer. A proper non-similarity transformation simplifies the system of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The collocation formula in the MATLAB software then solves the system of non-similarity equations. The finding results show that, a weak elevation in temperature is accompanied with the increase in the Carreau fluid parameter, whereas a significant acceleration in the flow is computed near the cone surface. The study is relevant to smart coating transport phenomena.
