ABSTRACT


The heat transfer in a steady laminar stagnation point flow of an incompressible non-Newtonian micropolar fluid impinging on a permeable stretching surface with heat generation or absorption is investigated. Numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum equations and the inhomogeneous energy equations is obtained. The effect of the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid, the surface stretching velocity, the heat generation/absorption coefficient, and Prandtl number on both the flow and heat transfer is presented and discussed.


Keywords: Stagnation Point Flow, Stretching Sheet, Heat Transfer, Non-Newtonian Fluid, Numerical Solution
