Squeezed flow and heat transfer in a second grade fluid over a sensor surface

Abstract

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.
