Homotopy Analysis to MHD Visco-Elastic Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer over an Exponentially Stretching Sheet

Abstract

In this present study, we analyze the flow and heat transfer of Visco-elastic fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet of the MHD boundary layer. The equations governing the boundary layer are translated into ordinary differential equations by the use of sufficient similarity transformations. To solve such equations, the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied. The effects of physical parameters such as Magnetic Parameter, Prandtl number for velocity and temperature are discussed in detail with graphical representation. The results of the solution are in strong agreement with the latest literature studies.
