Boundary Layer Flow over a Stretching Sheet with a Convective Boundary Condition and Slip Effect

Abstract

The steady laminar boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet with partial slip under a convective surface boundary condition is investigated. Using a similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, before being solved numerically by a shooting method using Maple software. The effects of the governing parameters namely Prandtl number, convective parameter and slip parameter on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented graphically and analyzed.
