Abstract:A study of an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid flow and heat transfer in a parallel plate channel with stretching walls in the presence of an applied magnetic field is carried out. The governing non-linear coupled equations with appropriate boundary conditions are initially cast into dimensionless form by similarity transformations. Then the resulting non-dimensional equations are solved analytically by Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effects of the pertinent parameters on the velocity and tempe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
