Abstract
A general analysis has been developed to study fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for mixed convection along a rotating vertical slender cylinder. Transformed set of coupled non-linear partial differential equations is solved by an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasilinearisation technique. The effects of rotational, buoyancy and suction/injection parameters have been investigated in the present study. The effects of various parameters on the velocity profiles in x- and θ-directions and the temperature profile are reported in the present study. The buoyancy force causes considerable velocity overshoot for low Prandtl number ( Pr) fluids. The Prandtl number ( Pr) strongly affects the surface heat transfer rate. Numerical results are presented for the skin friction coefficients in x- and θ-directions and for the Nusselt number.
