The Thin Film Flow of Walter’s B Fluid over the Surface of a Stretching Cylinder with Heat and Mass Transfer Analysis

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to study the performance of the boundary layer flow considering non-Newtonian Walter’s B fluid over the surface of an unstable cylinder to protect the surface of the cylinder from external heating and cooling. The Soret and Dufour properties with heat and mass transmission have been encountered in the flow field. Using the appropriate similarity transformations the leading PDE’s for the flow field have been altered into high ordered non-linear coupled ODE’s. Series solutions of the subsequent problem are computed by using controlling procedure homotopy analysis method. The properties of the included physical parameters in the problem, like Reynolds number, Walter’s B fluid parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt numbers, Dufour and Soret numbers have been illustrated. The behavior of Skin friction, Sherwood number and local Nusselt number have been described numerically for the dynamic constraints of the problem and the comparison of these physical parameters have been displayed with the experimental consequences in the existent literature. The optimal convergence of the applied method has been patterned by plotting h-curves. Finally, the results, obtained from HAM, have been justified through numerical (ND-Solve) method and tabulated comparison.
