The Effect of Suction on Heat Transfer with Temperature Dependent Heat Sources of sinks in a Stagnation Point Flow

Abstract

The effect of suction on heat transfer with internal heat generation or absorption in a viscous flow at a stagnation point is analysed. For large values of the suction parameter κ, a series solution of the energy equation is obtained in inverse powers of κ, while as for small values of κ, the energy equation is solved numerically. Results are obtained for both strong and weak sources or sinks for Prandtl number equal to unity and the effect of suction on the heat transfer is brought out.
