ABSTRACT

The salient motive of this chapter is to investigate the fundamental flows of a Ree–Eyring fluid between infinitely parallel plates. In this study, we have considered three fundamental flows (namely when motion of the both plates is in opposite directions, one plate is at rest and the other is moving with constant velocity, and motion of the both plates in the same direction of flow) of Ree–Eyring fluid under the influence of slip boundary conditions. The presence of magnetic field, heat transfer, and porous medium has also been taken into account. The effects of Joule heating and radiation have also been presented using an energy equation. The mathematical design of the current problem is presented using a Cartesian coordinate system in each case. To nondimensionalize the governing differential equations, appropriate nondimensional quantities have been introduced in each of the mentioned cases. The exact solutions are presented for the velocity and temperature profiles in each case. The graphical representations are provided for the velocity and temperature profiles with different parameters.
