Abstract

The nonlinear convection flow of tangent hyperbolic fluid through a convectively vertical surface has been investigated in present work. The effects of magnetic field, heat generation and nonlinear thermal radiation also enclosed. The converted set boundary layer equations are solved numerically by RKF method. Obtained numerical results for flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed for various physical parameters. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are also presented, and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed via graphs and tables. It is found that, the skin friction factor and heat transfer rates are more in presence of nonlinear convection than its absence. Further, velocity profile decreases by increasing power law index but establishes opposite results for skin friction.

Keywords:  Tangent hyperbolic fluid, nonlinear convection, nonlinear thermal radiation, heat source, numerical solution.
