Abstract
The intention of this research endeavor is to examine heat and mass transport in Williamson fluid flow induced by a permeable stretching cylinder in a porous medium. Various physical factors (like viscous dissipation, chemical reaction, etc.) affecting the relevant fields (flow, temperature and concentration) are incorporated in the investigation. The governing PDEs are turned into nondimensional ODEs using adequate similarity transformation relations, and then tackled numerically using MATLAB based Bvp4c technique along with shooting method. The impacts of various parameters arising in the problem are exhibited on fluid flow, temperature and concentration distribution by drawing portraits and discussed. Moreover, impressions of various regulating parameters on the quantities significant in engineering field (coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt number, etc.) are discussed by graphical representations. It is concluded that the pace of flow improves with increasing curvature parameter, but opposite trend is observed due slip and surface melting. The effects of viscous dissipation, temperature jump, and curvature parameters are noticed to heighten temperature profile, while scenario reverses due to melting. Further, order of the reaction exhibits effect opposite to that due reaction coefficient and Schmidt number on concentration profile. For validation of results obtained Nusselt number values compared with earlier published results, an excellent agreement achieved.
