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.
