Boundary Layer Flow of Second Grade Fluid in a Cylinder with Heat Transfer

Boundary Layer Flow of Second Grade Fluid in a Cylinder with Heat Transfer

An analysis is carried out to obtain the similarity solution of the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a second grade through a horizontal cylinder. The governing partial differential equations along with the boundary conditions are reduced to dimensionless form by using the boundary la...
