This investigation reports the boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics in a couple stress fluid flow over a continuos moving surface with a parallel free stream. The effects of heat generation in the presence of convective boundary conditions are also investigated. Series solutions for the velocity and temperature distributions are obtained by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Convergence of obtained series solutions are analyzed. The results are obtained and discussed through graphs for physical parameters of interest.

In this paper, the effect of convective boundary conditions, heat generation, Brownian motion, and thermophoresis on heat transfer characteristics of a moving cylinder embedded into cooling medium consists of water with nanoparticles are studied. The governing boundary-layer equations transformed to ODE using similarity transformation method and then solved analytically using optimal homotopy asymptotic method for the general case. The velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles within the boundary-layer plotted and discussed in details for various values of the different parameters. Moreover, the effect of boundary-layer behavior on the surface shear stress, rate of heat and mass transfer investigated.

The present article addresses the peristaltic flow of a Jeffery fluid over an inclined axisymmetric porous tube with varying viscosity and thermal conductivity. Velocity slip and convective boundary conditions are considered. Resulting governing equations are solved using long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations. The closed-form solutions are obtained for velocity, streamline, pressure gradient, temperature, pressure rise, and frictional force. The MATLAB numerical simulations are utilized to compute pressure rise and frictional force. The impacts of various physical parameters in the interims for time-averaged flow rate with pressure rise and is examined. The consequences of sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, triangular, trapezoidal, and square waveforms on physiological parameters are analyzed and discussed through graphs. The analysis reveals that the presence of variable viscosity helps in controlling the pumping performance of the fluid.
