This article is proposed to address the melting heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid in Blasius and Sakiadis flow caused due to a moving surface. Thermal radiation and a constant free stream are considered in this mathematical model. The non-linear coupled dimensionless equations from the governing equations are attained by employing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting dimensionle...

It has been known that there is a viscoelastic instability in the channel flow past a cylinder at high Deborah (De) number. Some of our numerical simulations and a boundary layer analysis indicated that this instability is related to the shear flow in the gap between the cylinder and the channel walls in our previous work. The critical condition for instability initiation may be related to an i...

Recent results on Network Calculus applied to FIFO networks show that, in the general case, end-to-end delay bounds cannot be computed in a closed form, whereas solving non-linear programming problems is instead required. Furthermore, it has been shown that these bounds may be larger than the actual worst-case delay, which also calls for computing lower bounds on the latter. This paper presents...

Single-phase flows of viscoelastic polymer solutions in both microfluidic devices and rock cores exhibit apparent flow thickening. We demonstrate that this thickening occurs above a critical Deborah number corresponding to the onset of spatio-temporal fluctuations. These fluctuations are observed to occur over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales consistent with elastic turbulence. The ...

The water swelling and drug diffusion from initially hydrophilic, glassy polymer matrices were modeled using concentration-dependent diffusion equations for water and drug. The transport equation for water incorporated a relaxation-dependent mechanism. These equations were solved with an appropriate boundary condition incorporating a relaxation-dependent Deborah number. Experimental results fro...

The natural convection flow of a second-grade hybrid nanofluid along vertical plate is investigated. effects variable heat flux and magnetic field are considered. governing equations for the momentum energy transport reduced to dimensionless equations. finite difference method used solve obtained by stream-function formulation. A comparison between present results relevant published gives good ...

Analysis has been done to investigate the heat generation/absorption effects in a steady flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid over a surface which is stretching linearly in its own plane. An upper convected Maxwell model (UCM) has been utilized as the non-Newtonian fluid model in view of the fact that it can predict relaxation time phenomenon which the Newtonian model cannot. Behavior of the relaxat...
