Analytical investigation of thermal radiation effect on nanofluid forced convection in a semi porous channel

Nanofluid thermal radiation in a semi porous channel is investigated in existence of magnetic field. Influence of thermal radiation and Joule heating on energy equation is taken into account. Differential transform method is utilized to solve this problem. Effects of Reynolds number, Hartmann number, suction parameter, Eckert number, radiation parameter on flow and heat transfer are presented. Results show that temperature gradient augments with rise of Reynolds number, suction parameter, and Radiation parameter.
