EFFECTS OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON TEMPERATURE PROFILES

This section considers the influence of the flow parameters on temperature profiles and illustrated in Figures (7) to (12). \(D_{f}\)has the same effect on both the Blasius and Sakiadis flows as shown in Figure 7 (a-b). The temperature profiles decreases with increase in\(D_{f}\) for both the Blasius flow and the Sakiadis flow. Figure (8) and (10) show that Ec and local magnetic field parameter\((M_{x})\) have similar effect on the temperature profile of both Blasius and Sakiadis flows. Temperature profiles increase for both the Blasius and the Sakiadis flows with increase in Ec and\(M_{x}\). Figure (9) shows that the temperature profiles decrease with increase in the local Grashof number \((Gr_{x})\) for both the Blasius flow and the Sakiadis flow while, in Figure (11) the influence of varying values of \(\Pr\) on temperature profiles increases greatly in the Blasius flow as \(\Pr\) increases but experiences a dual effect in Sakiadis flows as \(\Pr\) increases. As \(\Pr\) increases, the temperature profiles increases close to the boundary layer but decreases in the free stream. Figure (12) shows the influence of Sr on the temperature profiles and it is observed that the temperature profile increases with increase in the Sr for the Blasius flow but decreases for Sakiadis flow.
