Mass transfer analysis for unsteady thin film flow over stretched heated plate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the mass transfer in a time varying thin liquid film over a stretching heated plate having variable temperature and concentration is analyzed. The analytical solution for the unsteady NavierStokes, energy and diffusion equations are obtained. A new similarity is found using group-theoretic analysis which renders the exact similar governing equations amenable to analytical solution using perturbation method. Numerical solution of the problem is also obtained showing good agreement with analytical results. Graphs of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are displayed for various values of pertinent parameters.

Instabilities of Thin Viscous Liquid Film Flowing down a Uniformly Heated Inclined Plane
Instabilities of a thin viscous film flowing down a uniformly heated plane are investigated in this study. The heating generates a surface tension gradient that induces thermocapillary stresses on the free surface. Thus, the film is not only influenced by gravity and mean surface tension but also the thermocapillary force is acting on the free surface. Moreover, the heat transfer at the free su...

In this paper, an integration of a symbolic power series method - Padé approximation technique (PS - Padé), was utilized to solve a system of nonlinear differential equations arising from the similarity solution of laminar thermal boundary layer over a flat plate subjected to a convective surface boundary condition. As both boundary conditions tended to infinity, the combination of series solut...

In the present analysis, the Dufour and Soret effects on unsteady heat-mass transfer of a viscous incompressible Powell-Eyring fluids flow past an expanding/shrinking permeable sheet are reported. The fluid boundary layer develops over the variable sheet with suction/injection to the non-uniform free stream velocity. Under the symmetry group of transformations, the governing equations along wit...

The present study deals with the analysis of unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet when the sheet is stretched in its own plane. The velocity and temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance along the sheet. Two equal and opposite forces are impulsively applied along the x-axis so that the sheet is stretched, k...
