On Stretched Flows of Carreau Fluid with Heat Transfer: Modeling and Analysis

Abstract

This chapter reports the background of research and theoretical establishment of the thesis body. The essential facts for the ‡ow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian ‡uids are provided in literature review. Furthermore, it highlights the signi…cance of reviewing such ‡uids, especially, the Carreau rheological model. A brief narrative of all chapters of the thesis is incorporated in this chapter. Additionally, some essential worthwhile laws for forming momentum, energy and concentration terminologies are integrated. The basic notions of bvp4c approach and homotopy analysis method (HAM) are also reported.
