نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research the free convection of a non-Newtonian between two infinite parallel vertical flat plates is investigated. The basic partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The comparison between the results from HPM and numerical method are in well agreement which proofs the capability of this method for solving such problems. The results show that HPM is a powerful approach for solving nonlinear differential equations such as this problem. Also, it can be found that increasing Dimensionless nonNewtonian viscosity parameter lead to increase in velocity and temperature profiles while opposite trend is observed when Prandtl number and Eckert number increase.
