Abstract

This paper studies the effects of a second-grade fluid on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a divergent/convergent channel. The momentum and energy equations are first given in a nondimensional form and then solved analytically using the method of homotopy analysis method. Convergence of derived series solutions is shown. Graphical results for the velocity and the temperatures are presented and discussed for various emerging parameters.
