The prime aim of this paper is to probe the flow of micropolar nanofluid towards an inclined stretching surface adjacent to the stagnation region with Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts. The chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption are also taken into account. The energy and mass transport of the micropolar nanofluid flow towards an inclined surface are discussed. The numerical solution is elucidated for the converted non-linear ordinary differential equation from the set of partial nonlinear differential equations via compatible similarity transformations. A converted system of ordinary differential equations is solved via the Keller-box scheme. The stretching velocity and external velocity are supposed to change linearly by the distance from the stagnation point. The impacts of involved parameters on the concerned physical quantities such as skin friction, Sherwood number, and energy exchange are discussed. These results are drawn through the graphs and presented in the tables. The energy and mass exchange rates show a direct relation with the stagnation point. In the same vein, skin friction diminishes with the growth of the stagnation factor. Heat and mass fluxes show an inverse correspondence with the inclination factor.

A modifiedq-homotopy analysis method (mq-HAM) was proposed for solvingnth-order nonlinear differential equations. This method improves the convergence of the series solution in thenHAM which was proposed in (see Hassan and El-Tawil 2011, 2012). The proposed method provides an approximate solution by rewriting thenth-order nonlinear differential equation in the form ofnfirst-order differential equations. The solution of thesendifferential equations is obtained as a power series solution. This scheme is tested on two nonlinear exactly solvable differential equations. The results demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the algorithm developed.

AbstractThe similarity solution for the steady stagnation flow towards an off-centered rotating disc is gives a systemof non-linear partial differential equations. These nonlinear differential equations are numerically solved by applyingwell known Keller-Box Method. After finding the velocity distributions, the important designing subject, entropy generation of this system has been analyzed. Graphical results are presented to investigate effects of the rotation ratio α, off-centering, Reynolds number and axial height on the radial and azimuthal velocities and entropy generation. In order to show the effectiveness of the Keller- Box method, the obtained results are compared with available solutions obtained using DTM. The obtained results demonstrate the reliability of the algorithm and the Keller- Box method is an attractive method in solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations, and also the entropy generation is an important parameter depends on design andwork conditions that should be in the attention of designers of these rotating systems.

In this paper, micropolar nanofluid boundary layer flow over a linear inclined stretching surface with the magnetic effect is investigated. Buongiorno’s model utilized in this study for the thermal efficiencies of the fluid flow in the presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis properties. The nonlinear problem for micropolar nanofluid flow over an inclined sheet is established to study the heat and mass exchange phenomenon by considering portent flow parameters to strengthen the boundary layers. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically by applying the Keller-Box method. A comparison of the setup results in the absence of the incorporated impacts is performed with the accessible results and perceived in a decent settlement. Numerical and graphical outcomes are additionally presented in tables and diagrams.

AbstractA study of nanofluids is carried out that reveals the effect of rotational inertia and other physical parameters on the heat transfer and fluid flow. Temperature-dependent dynamic viscosity makes the microrotation viscosity parameter and the micro inertia density variant as well. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing suitable similarity transformations. These reduced nonlinear differential equations are then solved numerically by Keller-box method. The obtained numerical and graphical result discloses many interesting behaviour of nanofluids. It is seen that the temperature gradient decreases with the increase in viscosity parameter. Also, it is observed that with the fixed values of micropolar parameter and viscosity parameter, the velocity gradient near the wall increases with increasing values of solid particle volume fraction parameter. A suitable comparison of results is also presented in this study.

The similarity solution for the steady stagnation flow toward an off-centered rotating disc gives a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. These nonlinear differential equations are analytically solved by applying a newly developed method called DTM–Padé technique (the combination of the differential transform method (DTM) and the Padé approximation). This technique is extended to give solutions for nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions at infinity. Graphical results are presented to investigate influence of the rotation ratio α on the radial velocity, azimuthal velocity, and the induced velocity. In order to show the effectiveness of the DTM–Padé technique, the results obtained from the DTM–Padé technique are compared with available solutions obtained using shooting method to generate the numerical solution. The obtained results demonstrate the reliability of the algorithm and the DTM–Padé technique is an attractive method in solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations.

This paper is devoted to the study of a stagnation point flow of an incompressible third-order fluid towards a shrinking sheet (with heat transfer). The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of a similarity transformation and then solved by the homotopy analysis method. Two types of flow problems, namely, (i) two dimensional stagnation flow toward a shrinking sheet and (ii) axisymmetric stagnation flow towards an axisymmetric shrinking surface have been discussed. Also, two types of boundary conditions are taken into account: (i) prescribed surface temperature (PST) and (ii) prescribed heat flux (PHF) case. The effects of various emerging parameters of non-Newtonian fluid have been investigated in detail and shown pictorically. The convergence of the solutions have been discussed through ¯h-curves and residual error. For further validity, the homotopy Pad´e approximation is also applied.

In this work, the homotopy analysis method is applied to enable discussion of the three-dimensional shrinking flow of Jeffrey fluid in a rotating system. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform applied magnetic field, and the induced magnetic field is neglected.

In the present article, a direct approach, namely exp(-?)-expansion method, is used for obtaining analytical solutions of the Pochhammer-Chree equations which have a many of models. These solutions are expressed in exponential functions expressed by hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions with some parameters. Recently, many methods were attempted to find exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations, but it seems that the exp(-?)-expansion method appears to be efficient for finding exact solutions of many nonlinear differential equations.
