This study investigates the unsteady flow of Powell-Eyring fluid past an inclined stretching sheet. Unsteadiness in the flow is due to the time-dependence of the stretching velocity and wall temperature. Mathematical analysis is performed in the presence of thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink. The relevant boundary layer equations are reduced into self-similar forms by suitable t...

A solution of the governing equation representing drawdown in a horizontal confined aquifer, where groundwater flow is unsteady, was first provided by Theis and famously known as solution. This given terms an exponential integral, also called well function, for which simple reliable approximations are preferred due to their practical applications. To that end, several available literature, some...

in this paper, elzaki homotopy perturbation method is employed for solving linear and nonlinear differential equations with a variable coffecient. this method is a combination of elzaki transform and homotopy perturbation method. the aim of using elzaki transform is to overcome the deficiencies that mainly caused by unsatised conditions in some semi-analytical methods such as homotopy perturbat...

Most problems in science and engineering are nonlinear. Thus, it is important to develop efficient methods to solve them. In the past decades, with the fast development of high-quality symbolic computing software, such as Maple, Mathematica and Matlab, analytic as well as numerical techniques for nonlinear differential equations have been developed quickly. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) [1...

In the age of technology, it is vital to cool down different parts of a device to use it more beneficially. Using nanofluids is one of the most common methods which has shown very effective results. In this paper, we have rephrased a classic equation in fluid mechanics, i.e. the Falkner-Skan boundary layer equation, in order to be used for nanofluid. This nonlinear equation, which was presented...

The problem dealing with the steady flow of an Oldroyd 8-constant fluid over a suddenly moved plate is considered. The fluid is electrically conducting and a uniform magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction. An analytical solution of the nonlinear boundary value problem is obtained using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The behavior of the material constants and the magnetic field i...

In this paper, based on the homotopy analysis method (HAM), a new powerful algorithm is used for the solution of the nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation. The algorithm presents the procedure of constructing a set of base functions and gives the high-order deformation equation in a simple form. Different from all other analytic methods, it provides us with a simple way to adjust and control th...

In this paper, we have tried to find a solution for quick transfer of nuclear wastes from pools of cool water to dry stores to reduce the environmental concerns and financial cost of burying atomic waste. Therefore, the rate of heat transfer from atomic waste materials to the outer surface of the container should be increased. This can be achieved by covering the bottom of the pool space with c...

This paper examines the effects of thermocapillarity and thermal radiation on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in a thin film on an unsteady stretching sheet with nonuniform heat source/ sink. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation and then are solved by using the homotopy analysis method HAM . The ...
