Investigation of heat and mass transport to free stream for Cross fluid flow past an expanding cylinder

Abstract

AbstractThe investigation is about the effect of heat and mass transportation over a dragging out cylinder for Cross fluid flow in addition to free stream. This research is a notable effort to measure heat and mass transportation of the flow over an expanding cylinder with the imposition of the external flow. The system of complex partial differential equations is converted into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The solution of the nonlinear system of equations is made with the numerical technique Runge‐Kutta fifth order just after the implementation of the shooting technique with suitable conditions. MATLAB solver bvp4c has solved the problem of the flow over stretching cylinder very efficiently and presents the facts in the form of the graphs and numerical values. The results claim that for the values of gamma parameter from 0.1 to 0.5 the rate of heat transfer increases by 14% on the other lambda with values from 0.1 to 0.3 the heat transfer rate declines 11%. For the growing values of Schmidt number from 1.0 to 5.0 the rate of mass transfer decreases by 85%. The rate of heat transfer has fallen by 86% for the improving values of the Prandtl number from 1, 2, and 3.
