Boundary Layer Flow over a Stretching Sheet with Suction and Heat Transfer as Two-Point Boundary Value Problem

Naseem Ahmad, M.K. Mishra, Z.U. Siddiqui

Abstract


In the present paper, the boundary layer flow of viscous incompressible fluid over a stretching plate with suction has been considered to solve heat flow problem. First, using the similarity transformation, the momentum equation has been transformed into ordinary differential equation. Then using the transformation y y’ the problem governing the boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet has been transformed into two-point boundary value problem. Applying shooting method, the boundary value problem has been converted into initial value problem so that Runge-Kutta method of order four can be applied to compute velocity function f With the help of computed values of velocity function, the heat transfer problem has been solved by finite difference method. The obtained results have been discussed graphically.
