Heat transfer in generalized Carreau fluid flow near a radioactive heated rotating disk

A theoretical study is examined to investigate the effects of enthalpy and radioactive heat transfer in generalized Newtonian fluid flow due to an inclined rotating disk. In order to examine the shear thickening phenomenon, Carreau fluid model is utilized. Here for the first time, Carreau fluid model under the enthalpy, thermophoretic effect, binary mixture and solar radiation effects are examined near an inclined rotating disk. In this study, the fluid flow does not give an analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, except for the limit case, that is for high Reynolds number. The flow inside three-dimensional boundary layer flow is determined by the von Karman transformations. The boundary layer equations are converted into system of ordinary differential equations by using von Karman inequalities and solved numerically by employing shooting method. The effects of shear thinning and shear thickening fluids show a increase behaviour for base flow profiles. Thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity increases the temperature and concentration distributions. The azimuthal velocities increases by increasing values of lambda(T) and lambda(C). parameters. We present the numerical solutions for different physical parameters and discussed them for radial and azimuthal velocities and for heat and mass transfer profiles through graphs and tables.
