Abstract

Non-Newtonian fluid model was created against the Newton’s Law of viscosity where the viscosity is no more constant and dependent on the shear rate. The existing such fluid can be found in many industrial claims especially in food manufacturing, lubrication, biomedical flows and oil and gas. Besides, the used of non Newtonian fluid occurs in mining industry where the slurries and muds are often handled. There are many models on non-Newtonian fluid available in literature where some of them capture the specific properties. The Reiner–Philippoff (RP) fluid model is considered in this endeavour due to the capabilities of the model which can be acted in three different family of fluid which are viscous, shear thickening and the shear-thinning. Mathematical model is constructed using continuity, momentum and energy equations where in form of partial differential equations (PDEs). The complexity of the proposed model is abridged by deduced the equations into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by adopting similarity variablesbefore the computation is done by bvp4c function drive in MATLABsoftware. To ratify the validity of the proposed model as well as numerical outputs, the comparative study is performed and it found to be in very strong agreement under limiting case where the present model is condensed to be identical with the reported model previously. The consequences of pertinent parameters on fluid’s characteristics are analyzed in details through the plotted graphic visuals and tabular form.
