Dynamic-thermal problem for a non-newtonian fluid

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The equations of the dynamic and thermal boundary layers on a flat plate are examined for a fluid with a temperature-dependent rheological power law and a non-Fourier law of heat conduction. They are reduced to ordinary differential equations and solved numerically. An asymptotic formula is obtained for calculating θ'(0). The effect of the nonisothermicity of the parametera on the velocity and temperature profiles and on the drag and heat transfer coefficients is investigated.
