Heat transfer over an exponentially stretching continuous surface with suction

Abstract

Similary solutions of the laminar boundary layer equations describing heat and flow in a quiescent fluid driven by an exponentially stretching surface subject to suction are examined numerically. The direction and amount of heat flow were found to be dependent on the magnitude of γ (parameter of temperature) for the same Prandtl number. Nusselt number increases with increasing γ and the Prandtl number. The effect of decreasing suction parameter is found to be significant particularly for the Prandtl number.
