Mixed Convection Flow of a Casson Fluid over a Curved Stretching Surface with Nonlinear Rosseland Thermal Radiation

Abstract

In this study, the boundary layer flow and mixed convection heat transfer of a Casson fluid over a curved stretching surface coiled in a circle of radius \(R\) have been considered. The effects of thermal radiation are also incorporated by using non-linearized Rosseland approximation. A curvilinear coordinate system is used to develop the mathematical model for the considered flow and heat transfer problem. Similarity solutions of the modeled partial differential equations are computed using shooting method. Influence of different involved parameters on the quantities of interest including fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer along the surface is discussed through graphs and tables.
