Abstract

Purpose. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the unsteady flow behavior of second-grade inviscid fluid between parallel plates. The effects on the flow are explored through modeling of continuity, momentum, and energy equations. Graphical and tabular exploration has been made to analyze the impact of several influential variables on the dimensionless temperature and velocity profiles. Three-dimensional graphs and stream lines are also mentioned. Design/Approach/Methodology. The governing equations have been metamorphosed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable transformation which is the main focus of the study. To approach the solution of the problem numerically, we have used the numerical method such as shooting technique along with Runge–Kutta method is implemented. Findings. The graphs for the squeezing number, Prandtl number, and Eckert number are decreasing by increasing the values of these parameters. The graphs of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are increasing by changing the values of both parameters. Originality/Value. The significances of an unsteady squeezed flow of a nonviscous second-grade fluid between parallel plates by using boundary layer phenomenon are discussed.

Highlights

  • Some important applications of non-Newtonian fluids are introduced to enhance the research interest in food preservation, polymeric substitutions, nuclear fuels, liquid metals, paints, and blood flow

  • Most of the investigations [1–25], worked on such problems by assuming different types of flows and effects on various fluids. e flow squeezed between parallel walls happens in many biological and industrial systems. e nonsteady viscous flow fluid squeezed between parallel plates is a great subject of interest in hydrodynamic machines due to their motion normal to their own surfaces. e initiate work and the fundamental formulation of under lubrication squeezing flows were assumed by Stefan [14]

  • E evaluation of boundary layer squeezed flow is an interesting research matter due to its wide range of applications in industry and engineering. e most common scientific and engineering applications are in the drawing of plastic wires and films, extrusion of a polymer in a meltspinning process, manufacturing of foods, crystal growing, liquid film in condensation process, electrochemical process, paper and glass fiber production, thermal energy storage, electronic chips, flow through filtering devices, food processing, cooling towers, marine engineering, hydro towers, distillation columns, and so on. e viscosity and thermic conductivity are presumed as a function of temperature
