In this paper, the boundary-layer natural convection flow on a permeable vertical plate with thermal radiation and mass transfer is studied when the plate moves in its own plane. A uniform temperature with uniform species concentration at the plate is affected and the fluid is considered to be a gray, absorbing–emitting. A viscous flow model is presented using boundary-layer theory comprising the momentum, energy, and concentration equations, which is solved analytically by means of an excellent method called homotopy analysis method (HAM). First, a comparison between HAM results and those obtained by means of a higher-order numerical method, namely differential quadrature method (DQM), is done. Close agreement of two sets of results indicates the accuracy of the HAM. The velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are displayed graphically, and a parametric study is performed in which the effect of various parameters on the skin friction, the local Nusselt number (Nn), and the local Sherwood number (Mu) are investigated.

The effect of thermal radiation on steady fully developed natural convection flow in a vertical micro-channel is presented in this article. Effects of velocity slip and temperature jump conditions are taken into account due to their counter effects on both the volume flow rate and the rate of heat transfer. Due to the presence of thermal radiation, the momentum and energy equations are coupled system of ordinary differential equations. Governing coupled nonlinear equations are solved analytically by employing the perturbation analysis method to obtain an expression for fluid temperature, fluid velocity, rate of heat transfer and skin friction on the microchannel walls. The effect of various parameters controlling the physical situation such as thermal radiation, temperature difference, Knudsen number, and fluid wall interaction are discussed with the aid of line graphs and Tables. Results indicate that both velocity and temperature enhanced with the increase of the thermal radiation parameter. Keywords: Thermal radiation, Natural convection, Micro-channel, Velocity slip, Temperature jump
