- Description
- The problem of fluid flow on air-jet weaving machine (i.e. mechanical engineering and chemical engineering) is deliberated upon in this report using the case of non-Newtonian Carreau fluid flow. In this report, the boundary layer flow of the fluid over an upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid of revolution is presented. The dimensional governing equations were nondimensionalized, parameterized, solved numerically and discussed. Maximum horizontal velocity is ascertained at smaller values of thickness parameter, a larger value of buoyancy related parameter and the flow is characterized as shear-thickening. Local skin friction coefficient is an increasing and a decreasing property of Deborah number for Shear thinning and Shear-thickening cases of the flow respectively. The velocity of the flow parallel to the surface (uhspr) is a decreasing property of thickness parameter and increasing function of velocity index parameter. 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
