An analysis has been carried out for the heat transfer on steady boundary layer flow of a secondgrade fluid bounded by a stretching sheet. The magnetohydrodynamic nature of the fluid is considered in the presence of Hall and ion-slip currents. The nonlinear mathematical problem is computed by a powerful tool, namely, the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study between the present and existing limiting results is carefully made. Convergence regarding the obtained solution is discussed. Skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are analyzed. Effects of embedded parameters on the dimensionless velocities and temperature are examined

In this study, we derive an analytical solution describing the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of a second grade fluid over a shrinking sheet. Both exact and series solutions have been determined. For the series solution, the governing nonlinear problem is solved using the homotopy analysis method. The convergence of the obtained solution is analyzed explicitly. Graphical results have been presented and discussed for the pertinent parameters.

The three-dimensional unsteady flow induced in a second-grade fluid over a stretching surface has been investigated. Nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into a system of ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been implemented for the series solutions. Graphs are displayed for the effects of different parameters on the velocity field.

ABSTRACTThis article describes the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in a second grade fluid over a stretching sheet. Heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of a Newtonian heating. The partial differential systems have been transformed into the ordinary differential systems by appropriate relations. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the solutions. Graphical and tabulated results are presented to see the significance of influential parameters on the velocity and temperature fields. It is seen that temperature profiles and heat transfer rate significantly increase by increasing the conjugate parameter (γ) for Newtonian heating.

This study explores the flow of a second-grade fluid in divergent–convergent channel. The problem formulation is first developed, and then the corresponding nonlinear problem is solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of different physical parameters on the velocity profile are shown. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient for different values of parameters are tabulated.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the heat and mass transfer with Soret-Dufour effects for the magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow of second grade fluid in the rotating frame of reference. Design/methodology/approach – Series solution is obtained by homotopy analysis method. Findings – Increase in Soret number, Schmidt number and Dufour number, the heat transfer increases and mass transfer decreases. Effects of Prandtl and Eckert numbers are qualitatively similar as they assist the temperature profile and reduce the concentration of species. Increase in the length of the channel versus height increases the temperature profile but decreases the concentration field. Increase in the second grade fluid parameter causes reduction in both the temperature and concentration fields. The heat flux values at the lower plate are smaller than the values at the upper plate, whereas the situation is opposite in the case of mass transfer. Originality/value – These findings will be useful for the fluid flow in porous channel.

An analysis has been carried out for the hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer over a horizontal surface located in an externally squeezed free stream. Mathematical formulation is developed by using constitutive equations of a second grade fluid. The resulting problems have been solved by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). In addition the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are tabulated. The physical quantities of interest are analyzed for various emerging parameters.

We investigated an axisymmetric unsteady two-dimensional flow of nonconducting, incompressible second grade fluid between two circular plates. The similarity transformation is applied to reduce governing partial differential equation (PDE) to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) in dimensionless form. The resulting nonlinear boundary value problem is solved using homotopy analysis method and numerical method. The effects of appropriate dimensionless parameters on the velocity profiles are studied. The total resistance to the upper plate has been calculated.
