Numerical Analysis of Velocity and Thermal Wall Slip Effects on the Boundary Layer Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Bullet-Shaped Object in Presence of Suction and Injection

Abstract

A steady two-dimensional axisymmetric incompressible flow over an exponentially stretching bullet-shaped surface has been considered. The present work is mainly focused on fluid flow by the effect of multiple slips. The governing partial differential equations and auxiliary boundary conditions have been converted into higher-order equations by using assisting similarity transformations. These higher-order ODEs are then transformed into a 1st-order system of LDEs by the method of spectral quasi-linearization (SQLM). The validity, accuracy, and convergence of the solution have been performed by using SQLM. The fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number have been depicted graphically for the mentioned parameters as also the numerical values of velocity gradient, and Nusselt number in a table. The numerical investigation shows that the velocity gradient enhances due to the parameter of magnetic, thermal slip, and Prandtl number whereas the remaining parameters have a reverse effect on it. The heat transfer rate reduces for the parameters of magnetic, multiple slip, injection, and viscous dissipation but suction and heat generation have a reverse effect on it. The results of in this work have been justified due to the validity and accuracy of the present problem. Due to the endless application of Newtonian fluids in engineering and industry, no attempt has been taken to inspect the MHD flow with a dual slip effect along with exponential stretching bullet-shaped surface. Also, the current work is of immediate interest to those systems that are highly influenced by the heat transfer process and desired product quality.
