Abstract

This communication presents non-Newtonian fluid flow over a stretching cylinder. Rheological relations of second-grade fluid are employed in the modeling. Heat transfer is characterized by a convectively heated cylinder. Different from the previous classical studies in the literature, the nonlinear thermal radiation contribution is taken into consideration. Resulting nonlinear mathematical problems are computed for the approximate convergent solutions. Impact of different parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles is examined. Computations for heat transfer rate are presented and examined for the influences of pertinent parameters. It is noted that fluid velocity enhances when curvature parameter is increased. Surface heat transfer rate enhances larger Eckert number, radiation parameter and Prandtl number.
