Abstract
In the present study, the slip boundary layer flow of a power-law non-Newtonian fluid over continuously moving permeable surface with internal heat generation/absorption has been examined at prescribed surface temperature taking into account the effect of viscous dissipation. The governing partial differential equations along with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form and then the reduced ordinary differential equations are solved numerically via Dormand-Prince pair and shooting method. Comparison of numerical results is made with the earlier published results under limiting cases. The values of the local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are obtained and presented, graphically. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out to investigate the effects of involved parameters of the problem and it is shown that the rate of heat transfer increases with the surface temperature parameter, Prandtl number, internal heat absorption and suction.
