UNSTEADY FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS ON A SISKO FLUID

Abstract

In this paper, the heat transfer analysis is investigated for unsteady flow of a Sisko fluid. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations and boundary conditions are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and boundary conditions by similarity transformations. The reduced system is solved analytically. The Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is implemented to find a family of traveling wave solutions of the governing nonlinear problem. The analytic solutions in the series form for various values of the power index are first developed using the HAM and then analyzed for its convergence. Finally, the velocity and temperature profiles are plotted for various values of the emerging dimensionless parameters of the problem and discussed. In addition a comparison between Sisko and Newtonian fluids is presented.
