Analysis of flow and heat transfer of MHD nanofluid between parallel plates by AGM method

In this paper, the unsteady squeezing flow and heat transfer of MHD nanofluid between the infinite parallel plates in the presence of thermal radiation is investigated analytically by using Akbari-Ganji method (AGM). The main purpose of AGM is to obtain an accurate solution with a simple algebraic calculation that is simpler than the other methods and that would be acceptable withminor errors compared with the numerical method. The partial differential equations governing the flowproblem were converted to ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation. After that the Akbari- Ganji,s Method (AGM) has beenused to solve differential equations governing this problem. The effects of the magnetic Parameter and thevolume fraction of nanofluid on flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. The results show that with increase of volume fraction nanofluid, there isn t any significant changing in the velocity profile while the temperaure has decreasing behavior. In relation to magnetic parameter, due to effect of Lorentz force, the velocity and temperaure profile decreases with theincreasing of magnetic parameter.
