STEADY MHD SLIP FLOW OVER A PERMEABLE STRETCHING CYLINDER WITH THERMAL RADIATION

Aim of the paper is to investigate the effects of thermal radiation and velocity slip on steady MHD slip flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a permeable stretching cylinder saturated in porous medium in the presence of external magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformation and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique. Effect of various physical parameters on fluid velocity, temperature, skin –friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented through graphs and discussed numerically.


INTRODUTION
The investigation of viscous incompressible fluid flow over a stretching/shrinking surface has gained much attention in recent years as it has various applications in both industrial and manufacturing processes. Some of these are MHD power generators, petroleum industries, plasma studies, hot rolling, wire drawing, aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets and metal spinning. Crane [Crane (1970)] investigated the flow and heat transfer past a linearly stretching sheet. Gupta and Gupta [Gupta et al. (1977)] extended the work of Crane by introducing mass transfer with suction and blowing. Lin and Shih [Lin and Shih (1980), Lin and Shih (1981)] studied buoyancy effects on laminar boundary layer heat transfer along vertically moving cylinders. Heat transfer characteristics of a continuous stretching surface with power law surface temperature vibration were discussed by Grubka and Bobba [Grubka and Bobba (1985)]. Chen and Char [Chen and Char (1988)] considered heat transfer past a stretching surface with suction or blowing. Wang [Wang (1998)] investigated fluid flow due to stretching cylinder and obtained both exact and asymptotic solution for large Reynolds number. Heat transfer characteristics of a continuous stretching surface were analyzed by Ali [Ali (1994)].
Slip flow means non-adherence of fluid to the boundary wall. The slip flow boundary condition was first introduced by C.L.M.H. Navier more than a century ago. Anderson [Anderson (2002)], Wang [Wang (2002)], Ariel et al. [Ariel et al. (2006)] and Fang et al. [Fang et al. (2009)] obtained closed form solution of Navier-Stokes equations for laminar boundary layer slip flow over a stretching surface. Ganesan and Loganathan [Ganesan and Loganathan (2003)] investigated magnetic field effect on moving vertical cylinder with constant heat flux. Cortell [Cortell (2005)] considered suction/blowing and internal heat generation/absorption in flow and heat transfer of a fluid through porous medium over a stretching surface. Flow and heat transfer in an asymmetric stagnation flow on a cylinder was studied by Elbarbary and Elgazery [Elbarbary and Elgazery (2005)]. Xu, Liao [Xu and Liao (2005)] and Hayat et al. ] used homotopy analysis method to study MHD Flow of non-Newtonian and Maxwell fluids over stretching plate.
The flow past a stretching cylinder has many industrial and engineering applications for example in metallurgy and polymer industries such as extraction and manufacture of polymer and rubber sheets glass fiber production etc. Ishak et al. , Ishak and Nazar (2009) and ] examined the boundary layer flow and heat transfer due to stretching cylinder with uniform suction/blowing effect and external magnetic field. Later Mukhopadhyay [Mukhopadhyay (2013), Mukhopadhyay (2011)] extended the work of Ishak by including chemically reactive solute transfer and slip flow along a stretching cylinder. Hayat et al. [Hayat et al. (2018)] discussed convective heat and mass transfer by an inclined stretching cylinder. Stagnation-point flow and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching/shrinking cylinder was studied by Merkin et al. [Merkin et al. (2017)]. Yu et al. [Yu et al. (2018)] investigated effects of thermal buoyancy on flow and heat transfer around a permeable circular cylinder with internal heat generation. In our previous paper [Sinha and Yadav (2021)], the influence of heat source/sink on MHD mixed convective flow along a vertical stretching cylinder saturated in porous medium was investigated.
Aim of the present paper is to investigate the effects of thermal radiation and velocity slip on steady MHD slip flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a permeable stretching cylinder saturated in porous medium in the presence of external magnetic field.

MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM
Consider steady axisymmetric flow of viscous incompressible electrically conductive fluid over a permeable stretching horizontally placed cylinder of radius R in the presence of external magnetic field . The uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the surface of the cylinder which is saturated in porous medium. The and axis are taken as the axis of the cylinder and in the radial directions respectively. To neglect the induced magnetic field, it is assumed that the magnetic Reynolds number is very small. The governing equations of continuity, motion and energy are as follows: Where and are the velocity components in and directions, (= ) is the kinematic viscosity, is density of the fluid, is the coefficient of viscosity, is the electrical conductivity, is permeability of the porous medium, is temperature of the fluid, is thermal diffusivity and is external volumetric heat source/sink.For the radiated heat flux Rosseland approximation is used and 4 is approximated by truncated Taylor series about ∞ . . 4 ≅ 4 ∞ 3 − 3 ∞ 4 .
Corresponding boundary conditions are given by Where ( ) = is the stretching velocity, ( ) = ∞ + � � is the prescribed wall temperature, and are the reference velocity and temperature respectively, ∞ is ambient temperature, is characteristic length, 1 is velocity slip and is temperature exponent.

Using similarity transformation (5) in (9), the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number reduce to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Effects of various physical parameters e.g., curvature parameter, magnetic parameter, velocity slip parameter, temperature exponent, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, permeability parameter, heat source/sink parameter and suction/injection parameter on fluid velocity and temperature are shown through figures 2 to 9. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number for different values of these parameters are tabulated and discussed through Table 1   When magnetic field increases, a resistive force (Lorentz force) works against the flow of the fluid which results in decreasing fluid velocity and increasing fluid temperature. It is consistent with the data given in Table 1 which shows that skin friction decreases with decreasing fluid velocity while Nusselt number increases with increasing temperature difference. Figure 3(a) and Figure 3 (b) represent that both fluid velocity and temperature increase with enhancing values of velocity slip parameter. This is because there is a jump in velocity of the fluid layers adjacent to the wall due to increasing velocity slip parameter.   Fluid velocity and temperature decrease with increasing suction parameter as depicted in Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b). The physics behind this is when suction Steady MHD Slip Flow Over A Permeable Stretching Cylinder with Thermal Radiation International Journal of Engineering Technologies and Management Research 30 parameter increases some amount of fluid is sucked by the wall. Also, due to decreasing fluid velocity and temperature skin friction decreases while Nusselt number increases which can be verified from Table 1. Effect of permeability parameter on fluid velocity and temperature are shown through Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b). When permeability parameter increases fluid velocity increases while temperature decreases. This is because increasing permeability parameter shows more assistance to the fluid flow and as a result fluid temperature decrease. Figure 6(a) and Figure 6 (b) represent that both fluid velocity and temperature decrease with increasing curvature parameter.       Figure 9 shows that temperature increases with increasing radiation parameter. When radiation parameter increases fluid elements consumes the radiated heat and get energized and as a result fluid temperature increases and Nusselt number decreases. Variation in skin friction coefficient ( ′′ (0)) and Nusselt number (− ′ (0)) with respect to physical parameters are given in Table 1. The table shows that skin friction coefficient decreases when magnetic parameter, suction parameter or curvature parameters increases while it increases when velocity slip parameter or permeability parameter increases. Moreover, the table illustrate that the Nusselt number of the flow field decreases as the values of magnetic parameter, radiation parameter or velocity slip parameter increases, and it increases as the values of curvature parameter, Prandtl number, temperature exponent, suction parameter or permeability parameter increases.  Table 2 shows the comparison of Nusselt number for different values of temperature exponent with previous studies. The numerical results reveal that our results are in an excellent agreement with the results given by Ishak and Nazar ], Grubka and Bobba [Grubka and Bobba (1985)], S. Mukhopadhyay [Mukhopadhyay (2013)] in limiting conditions.
