Abstract
In the present study, we investigated a problem of steady laminar mixed convection flow over a vertically stretching sheet with partial slip under
convective surface boundary condition. The governing partial differential equations of the boundary layer flow are reduced into a set of nonlinear
ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformations. The system of non linear ordinary differential equations are solved by the
Keller box method. Velocity, temperature and heat transfer rate are analyzed by considering the important parameters: Prandtl number
Pr, convective
parameter ε, slip parameter
K and mixed convection parameter λ on the fluid flow and the corresponding results are presented graphically and
discussed in detail. The investigation shows that surface heat transfer rate is affected by Prandtl number
Pr, slip parameter
K and mixed convection
parameter λ. Increasing Prandtl number and mixed convection parameter λ increases surface heat transfer rate but decreasing mixed convection
parameter λ and increasing the slip parametr
K reduces it. The numerical results obtained are compared with previously reported cases available from
literature and they are found to be in very good agreement.
