Cortell Bataller, Rafael2016-05-172016-05-172014-041018-3647https://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/64145In the present paper, we endeavor to perform a numerical analysis in connection with the boundary layer flow induced in a quiescent fluid by a continuous sheet stretching with velocity uw (x) ∼x1/3 with heat transfer. The effects of thermal radiation using the nonlinear Rosseland approximation are investigated. We search for similarity solutions and reduce the problem to a couple of ordinary differential equations containing three dimensionless parameters: the radiation parameter NR, the temperature ratio parameter θw and the Prandtl number Pr. The computational results for velocity, temperature and heat transfer characteristics are presented in both graphical and tabular forms.Reserva de todos los derechosLaminar boundary layerNonlinearly stretching surfacesThermal radiationNonlinear Rosseland approximationFISICA APLICADAArtículo10.1016/j.jksus.2013.08.004Abierto
