Abstract
is increased from 0.1 to 10 gradually there is a significant growth in velocity and after that rate of increment gets slowdown, greater Eckert number and joule heating parameter cause a rise in temperature as well as enhance the thermal boundary thickness. Consequently rate of heat transfer diminishes as thickness leads to low heat transfer coefficient. The applications of this study are shown in: multiple heating devices and industrial processes such as incandescent light bulb's filament emitting light, food processing and polymer processing etc.
