Heat transfer by laminar flow of an elastico-viscous liquid along a plane wall with periodic suction

Abstract

The problem of heat transfer by the laminar flow of an elastico-viscous liquid along a plane wall with periodic suction has been considered. A perturbation technique has been used to obtain an approximate solution of the differential equations. The flow phenomenon has been characterized by the non-dimensional parameters like the elastic number (S), the Reynolds number (R), the Prandtl number (P) and the Eckert number (E). The effects of these parameters on the temperature distributions and the rate of heat transfer at the wall have been studied.
