On the Influence of Radiation and Heat Transfer on an Unstea MHD Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow with Slip in a Porous Medium

Abstract

Radiation and heat transfer effects on a MHD non-Newtonian unsteady flow in a porous medium with slip condition are investigated. The fluid is assumed not to absorb its own emitted radiation but that of the boundaries. The resulted governing equations are non-dimensionalised, simplified and solved using Crank Nicolson type of finite difference method. The numerical results for the velocity and temperature are illustrated graphically and discussed while the skin friction and Nusselt number were also calculated.
