HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION ANALYSIS ON RADIATIVE MHD CONVECTIVE TIME DEPENDENT Fe3Cl2 NANO FLUID ON A VERTICAL PLATE

Abstract
An analysis is performed to study the influence of radiation on time dependent nano fluid on a vertical plate. The flow is assumed to be finitely conductive two-dimensional MHD, in the vertical direction. The governing equations were transformed, using the nondimensional parameters and transformational variable to partial differential equations. A semi analytical method of Homotopy perturbation was applied in the computations. Numerical results reveal that, an increase in the Hartmann’s number lead to a decrease in the velocity profile. Also, it is observed that, there is a decrease in temperature profile of the fluid in the presence of radiation.
