Abstract:
The present paper contains the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid at an exponentially
stretching permeable surface. Using similarity transformations the governing partial differential equations
corresponding to the equation of continuity, momentum, and energy equations are converted into nonlinear
ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions to these equations are obtained using an implicit finite
difference scheme known as Keller Box method. It is observed that increasing values of the Casson parameter,
velocity decreases while increasing the temperature field. Also, suction/blowing shows opposite effects with
velocity and temperature. Increase in Prandtl number, temperature decreases. Skin friction is examined and
compared with previous results. The results are found to be good in agreement.
Keywords: Casson fluid, heat transfer, Keller Box method, exponentially stretching sheet, suction/blowing.
1. Introduction
Most of the engineering problems, boundary layer flow over a stretching surface is encountered. Sakiadis[1]
examined the boundary layer flow over a continuous solid surface. L.J.Crane[2]
studied flow past a stretching
surface. Flow and Heat transfer over an exponentially stretching sheet has very important applications in industry.
For example, In case of annealing and thinning of copper wire, the final product depends upon the rate of heat
transfer at the stretching continuous surface with variations in stretching velocity, temperature distribution
exponentially.
The quality of the final product depends on these parameters. Magyari et. al.[3]
studied the heat and mass transfer
on boundary layer flow due to an exponentially stretching sheet. Elbashbeshy[4]
investigated the flow of an

exponentially stretching sheet. Sajid et al[5]
examined the influence of thermal radiation on boundary layer flow
due to exponentially stretching sheet using HAM.
Bidin et al[6]
analyzed the effect of thermal radiation on the study of laminar two-dimensional boundary layer flow
and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching sheet. Hymavathi et al[7]
examined numerical approach to
magnetohydrodynamic viscoelastic fluid flow and heat transfer over a non isothermal stretching sheet. Swathi
Mukhopadhyay[9]
studied MHD boundary layer flow and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching sheet
embedded in a thermally stratified medium. Swathi Mukhopadhyay[10]
also examined the slip effects on MHD
boundary layer flow over an exponentially stretching sheet with suction/blowing and thermal radiation. The
technique for Keller Box scheme was discussed in detail by Cebeci et al[11]
in Physical and Computational aspects
of convective Heat Transfer.
Mustafa et al[16]
discussed the Stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of a Casson fluid towards a stretching sheet.
Bachok et al[17]
examined the flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching sheet in a micropolar fluid with
prescribed heat flux.
Heat transfer analysis is very important in handling and processing of non-Newtonian fluids. In the present study,
we examined Casson fluid model: which is non-Newtonian and exhibits yield stress. If a shear stress is less than
the applied yield stress, it behaves like a solid; whereas if a shear stress is greater than the applied yield stress, it
starts to move. The best examples of Casson fluid are soup, tomato sauce, jelly, honey, human blood etc. It can be
defined as a shear thinning liquid which is assumed to have an infinite viscosity at zero rate of shear; a yield stress
below which no flow occurs and a zero viscosity at an infinite rate of shear [12]
. Eldabe and Salwa [13]
have studied
the Casson fluid for the flow between two rotating cylinders and Boyd et al.[14]
investigated the Casson fluid flow
for the steady and oscillatory blood flow.
Swathy Mukhopadhyay[8]
discussed the Casson fluid flow and heat transfer at an exponentially stretching
permeable surface using Shooting method. Recently, Hymavathi et al.[15]
discussed the numerical solution to mass
transfer on MHD flow of Casson fluid with suction and chemical reaction. In this present study of work, numerical
solution to Casson fluid flow and Heat transfer at an exponentially stretching surface is examined. The Keller Box
method is discussed for numerical computation. The velocity and Temperature profiles were examined.

2. Equations of Motion
Consider the boundary layer flow of a steady incompressible viscous fluid past a flat sheet coinciding with the
plane y = 0. The fluid flow is confined to y > 0. Two equal and opposite forces are applied along the x axis so that
the wall is stretched keeping the origin fixed (see Fig. 1). The rheological equation of state for an isotropic and
incompressible Casson fluid is
Fig 1.
𝜏𝑖𝑗 = {2(𝜇𝐵 + 𝑃𝑦/ 2𝜋)𝑒𝑖𝑗 ,𝜋 > 𝜋𝑐
2(𝜇𝐵 + 𝑃𝑦/ 2𝜋𝑐)𝑒𝑖𝑗 ,𝜋 < 𝜋𝑐

Here π = eijeij and eij, is the (i,j)th component of the deformation rate, π is the product of the component of the
deformation rate with itself, πc is a critical value of this product based on the non-Newtonian model, µB is plastic
dynamic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid, and Py is the yield stress of the fluid. The continuity, momentum

2.1 Boundary Conditions.
The appropriate boundary conditions for the problem are given by
𝑢 = 𝑈, 𝑣 = −𝑣0(𝑥),𝑇 = 𝑇𝑤 𝑎𝑡 𝑦 = 0 (5)
𝑎𝑠 𝑦 → ∞,𝑢 → 0,𝑇 → 𝑇∞ (6)
Here 𝑈 = 𝑈0𝑒𝑥
𝐿 is the stretching velocity[2], 𝑇𝑤 = 𝑇∞ + 𝑇0𝑒𝑥
2𝐿 is the temperature at the sheet,U0 and T0 are the
reference velocity and temperature respectively. 𝑉(𝑥) = 𝑉0𝑒𝑥
2𝐿 is a special type of velocity at the wall[25] with V0
as constant. The meaning of V0 , V(x) > 0 is the velocity suction and V(x) < 0 is the velocity blowing.
Equations (2)-(6) can be made dimensionless by introducing the following change of variables
𝜂 = 𝑈0
2𝜐𝐿𝑒

𝑈 = 𝑈0𝑒𝑥

2𝐿𝑒
𝑥
2𝐿 [𝑓 𝜂 + 𝜂𝑓 ′ 𝜂 ] (7c)
𝑇 = 𝑇∞ + 𝑇0𝑒𝑥
2𝐿𝜃(𝜂) (7d)
The dimensionless problem satisfies
1 +1
𝛽 𝑓 ′′′ + 𝑓𝑓 ′′ − 2𝑓 ′2 = 0 (8)
𝜃 ′′ + Pr(𝑓𝜙 ′ − 𝑓 ′𝜃) = 0 (9)
and the boundary conditions take the following form
𝑎𝑡 𝜂 = 0,𝑓 = 𝑆,𝜃 = 1,𝑓 ′ = 1 (10)
𝑎𝑠 𝜂 → ∞,𝑓 ′ → 0,𝜃 → 0 (11)
Where 𝑆 = 𝑣0/ 𝑈0𝜐
2𝐿 >0 or (< 0) is the suction or (blowing) parameter and 𝑃𝑟 =
𝜐
𝑘 is the Prandtl number.
2.2 Numerical Procedure

known as Keller box method, as described by cebeci and Bradshaw[11]

and the boundary conditions
𝑓 𝜂 = 𝑆, 𝑓 ′ 𝜂 = 1, 𝜃 𝜂 = 1 𝑎𝑡 𝜂 = 0 (14)
𝑓 ′ 𝜂 → 0,𝜃 𝜂 → 0 𝑎𝑡 𝜂 → ∞ (15)
Introduce f ′=p, (16)
p′=q, (17)
g′=t (g=ϕ) (18)

It is observed that velocity is found to decrease with increase in the Casson parameter β in presence of

Fig.4(a) and 4(b) denotes the effect of suction/blowing parameter on velocity and temperature profiles. It is
observed that the velocity decreases with increasing in suction where as fluid velocity increases when blowing.
S=0 represents the case of non porous stretching sheet. Opposite behavior is noted. This happens because when
stronger blowing is provided, the heated fluid is pushed farther from the wall due to less influence of viscosity and
hence the flow is increasing. The same principle applies but in opposite direction in the case of suction.
Fig4(c) and 4(d) represents the temperature profiles for various suction/blowing parameters S. It is observed that
temperature decreases with increase in suction and increases with increase in blowing.

4. Conclusions
The present work concludes the numerical solution for steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer analysis for a
Casson fluid over an exponentially stretching surface. It is observed that
1. Velocity is found to be decreasing with increase in Casson parameter where as Temperature is found to be
increasing in absence of suction.
2. Velocity is found to be decreasing with increase in Casson parameter where as Temperature is found to be
increasing in presence of suction/blowing.
3. Momentum boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing in Casson parameter, but thermal boundary
layer thickness increases.
4. The surface shear stress increases with increase in Casson parameter.
5. Increase in Pr, Temperature decreases and in turn reduces the thermal boundary layer thickness.
