Abstract
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade nanofluid between coaxial porous cylinders was investigated in this work. Two types of series solutions were presented for constant and variable viscosity. The resulting nonlinear coupled equations were solved by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the series solutions has been discussed explicitly. The recurrence formulae for finding the coefficients were also given. Comparison with the existing studies was made and the role of pertinent parameters was graphically illustrated at the end.
Key words: Non-Newtonian nanofluid, porous media, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, heat transfer, nonlinear equations, series solutions.
