Consistent ramifications of prescribed surface temperature and prescribed heat flux boundary conditions for the slip flow of Walter B fluid in a stretching channel

Abstract

ABSTRACT The present work delves into the Walter B fluid flow across the channel with the elongating enclosures when enthralled by linear radiation. The magnetic field is contemplated throughout the examination. The fluid suction and injection is permitted through the lower permeable wall. The slip regime is confined at the boundaries of the channel. Heat transfer in the channel is brought to light under two heating processes, namely prescribed surface temperature and prescribed surface heat flux case. The modeled equations are non-dimensionalized and then solved by the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method in association with shooting scheme. Results deduce that the Reynolds number magnifies the velocity in the channel. Under two different heat boundary conditions, it is recorded that temperature is more pronounced for prescribed surface temperature case than prescribed heat flux. Flow profile for the varying viscoelastic parameter deciphers that at the lower end of the channel, the velocity is augmented and reverse response is recorded at the upper half of channel. Entropy profile magnifies with the augmentation of the magnetic parameter and shows depleting nature for higher Reynolds number. Examining the Walter B fluid flow in the channel enclosed with stretchable walls deliberates the flow of blood in the arterial wall under the exertion of strong magnetic field.
