چکیده
In this paper the similarity solutions of the Prandtl boundary layer equations describing a nonNewtonian power law fluid past an impermeable flat plate, driven by a power law velocity profile ) 0 ( > = B By U σ have been investigated. It is shown that there are analytical solutions for any 2 , 0 ≠ > n n and any 0 2 / 1 < ≤ − σ . We give a method for the determination of the power series solutions to the momentum equation and we estimate the convergence radius of the proposed solutions.

Temperature profile of a power-law fluid over a moving wall with arbitrary injection/suction and internal heat generation/absorption
The heat transfer for a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a moving surface is investigated by applying a uniform suction/injection velocity profile. The flow is influenced by internal heat generation/absorption. The energy equation is solved at constant surface temperature condition. The Merk-Chao series is applied to obtain a set of ODEs instead of a complicated PDE. The converted ordinary diffe...
متن کاملAn Efficient Numerical Method to Solve the Boundary Layer Flow of an Eyring-Powell Non-Newtonian Fluid
In this paper, the boundary layer flow of an Eyring-Powell non-Newtonian fluid over a linearly stretching sheet is solved using the combination of the quasilinearization method and the Fractional order of Rational Chebyshev function (FRC) collocation method on a semi-infinite domain. The quasilinearization method converts the equation into a sequence of linear equations then, using the FRC coll...
متن کاملSlip Velocity in Flow and Heat Transfer of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The steady-state fully-developed laminar flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluids is examined in a circular microchannel with slip boundary condition and under an imposed constant wall heat flux. Effects of slip as well as the hydrodynamic and thermal key parameters on heat transfer and entropy generation are investigated. The results reveal that increasing the Brinkman number and the flow behavi...
