Abstract

In this paper, an analytical study of squeezing unsteady nanofluid flow between two parallel plates is carried out. The effects of thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption along the temperature profile were observed. The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) was used to solve the two-dimensional nonlinear momentum and energy equations. The results found in this study are being compared with the result obtained using the RK4 technique with shooting scheme. The results obtained fascinatingly agree with the numerical solutions. Keywords: Nanofluid, Squeezing flow, Nonlinear equations, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Runge-Kutta scheme (RK4)
