This paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. The frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the Differential Quadrature (DQ) Method. The frequency is a complex value due to the thermoelastic effect that dissipates energy. By separating the real and imaginary parts of fr...

The steady, laminar, stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid past a nonlinearly stretching and shrinking sheet is studied. Hybrid regarded by disseminated two distinct nano-sized particles, silver (Ag) copper oxide (CuO) in pure water. Similarity technique was used for the transformation partial differential equations (PDEs) into an ordinary equation (ODEs). Obtained ODEs were solved using Ma...

In this article, a numerical approach is given for studying the flow of a Newtonian fluid over an impermeable stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium with a power law surface velocity and variable thickness in the presence of thermal radiation. The flow is caused by a non-linear stretching of a sheet. Thermal conductivity of the fluid is assumed to vary linearly with temperature. The gover...

This article describes the impact of slip conditions on nanofluid flow through a stretching sheet. Nanofluids are very helpful to enhance the convective heat transfer in a boundary layer flow. Prandtl number also play a major role in controlling the thermal and momentum boundary layers. For this purpose, we have considered a model for effective Prandtl number which is borrowed by means of exper...

This paper investigates the Dufour and Soret effects of forced convection heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting, non-Newtonian power-law fluid past a stretching sheet under the simultaneous action of suction, radiation, uniform transverse magnetic field, heat generation and viscous dissipation. The stretching sheet is assumed to continuously moving with a power-law velocity and m...

The present study deals with the analysis of unsteady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet when the sheet is stretched in its own plane. The velocity and temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance along the sheet. Two equal and opposite forces are impulsively applied along the x-axis so that the sheet is stretched, k...

Recently, graphene sheets have shown significant potential for environmental engineering applications such as wastewater treatment. In the present work, the posbuckling response of orthotropic single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) is investigated in a closedform analytical manner using the nonlocal theory of Eringen. Two opposite edges of the plate are subjected to normal stresses. The nonlocali...

The paper presents the semi-numerical solution for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow due to nonlinear porous shrinking sheet caused by boundary layer of an incompressible viscous flow. The governing partial differential equations of momentum equations are reduced into ordinary differential equation by using a classical similarity transformation along with appropriate boundary conditions. Both ...

In this study, bymeans of homotopyperturbationmethod (HPM) an approximate analytical solution of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a porous stretching sheet is obtained. The main feature of the HPM is that it deforms a difficult problem into a set of problems which are easier to solve. HPM produces analytical expressions for the sol...
