Author(s): Abhishek Kumar Singha
Purpose: The purpose of present study is to analyze the mixed convection impact for an exponentially decreasing free stream in laminar water boundary layer flow with variable viscosity and Prandtl number. The analysis includes the effect of suction/blowing and heat generation/ absorption. Design/methodology/approach: The non-linear partial differential equation governing the flow and thermal fields are presented in nondimensional form by using appropriate transformations. The Quasilinearization technique in combination with implicit finite difference scheme has been adopted to solve the non- linear coupled partial differential equations. Findings: It was found that the influence of The numerical results are displayed graphically to illustrate the influence of various nondimensional physical parameters on velocity and temperature buoyancy assisting force on both velocity as well as t..
