Spectral Adomian decomposition solution for MHD boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over a moving surface in the presence of thermal radiation

Abstract

Abstract The numerical solutios of magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer problem of a nano uid ow over a moving surface in the presence of thermal radiation has been concidered. The governing partial di erential equations were transformed into a system of ordinary di erential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The resultant ordinary equations were then solved using the spectral Adomian decomposition method. Effects of the physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration nanoparticle volume fraction profiles as well as the local skin-friction coeffcient and the heat and mass transfer rates are depicted graphically and/or in tabular form.
