Abstract
This paper explores Liquid Film Flow of Williamson Fluid over an Unstable Stretching Surface in a Porous Space . The Brownian motion and Thermophoresis effect of the liquid film flow on a stretching sheet have been observed. This research include, to focus on the variation in the thickness of the liquid film in a porous space. The self-similarity variables have been applied to convert the modelled equations into a set of non-linear coupled differential equations. These non-linear differential equations have been treated through an analytical technique known as Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effect of physical non-dimensional parameters like, Eckert Number, Prandtl Number, Porosity Parameter, Brownian Motion Parameter, Unsteadiness Parameter, Schmidt Number, Thermophoresis Parameter, Dimensionless Film Thickness, and Williamson Fluid Constant on the liquid film size are investigated and conferred in this endeavor. The obtained results through HAM are authenticated, from its comparison with numerical (ND-Solve Method). The graphical comparison of these two methods is elaborated. The numerical comparison with absolute errors are also been shown in the tables. The physical and numerical results using h curves for the residuals of the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are obtained
Highlights
In the existing literature most of the study is related to Newtonian Fluids and very little attention is paid to the Non-newtonian fluids
Effect has been countered to the liquid film flow
The main conclusion of this endeavor is the study of liquid film in a porous medium considering non-Newtonian Williamson fluid on an unstable stretching surface
Summary
In the existing literature most of the study is related to Newtonian Fluids and very little attention is paid to the Non-newtonian fluids. Williamson Fluid has been selected from the class of non-newtonian shear thickening and shear thinning fluids, which has many uses in the field of industry and engineering. The flow of Pseudoplastic Fluids experimentally describe by Williamson [1] with verified results. The analytical study of Williamson Fluid can be found in the investigation of Dapra and Scarpi [2]. Thermophoresis ( Thermomigration, Thermodiffusion, the Soret Effect, or the Ludwig-Soret Effect) is a phenomenon observed in mixtures of mobile particles where the different particle types exhibit different responses, to the force of a temperature gradient. The term Thermophoresis most often applies to aerosol mixtures, but may commonly refer to the
