| Summary: | The aim of this article is to investigate the unsteady
boundary layer flow and heat transfer analysis in a
third grade fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet under
the influences of thermal radiation and heat source/sink.
The convective boundary condition at the sheet is imposed
to determine the temperature distribution. Homotopy
analysis method (HAM) is used to solve dimensionless
nonlinear partial differential equations. The effects
of involved parameters on both velocity and temperature
fields are illustrated in detail through various plots. It is
found that the amplitude of velocity decreases by increasing
the ratio of the oscillation frequency of the sheet to its
stretching rate and Hartmann number while it increases
by increasing the third grade fluid parameter. On contrary,
the temperature field is found to be a decreasing function
of the third grade fluid parameter. |
