摘要: Abstract In this paper, forced-convection boundary-layer of MHD Al2O3–water nanofluid flow over a horizontal stretching flat plate is investigated using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) and fourth order Runge–Kutta numerical method. Comparison between HAM method shows that an exact high efficient for solving these kinds problems. The influence the volume fraction (φ) magnetic parameter (Mn) on non-dimensional temperature velocity profiles investigated. As important outcome, by increasing Mn number, thermal boundary layer thickness significantly increased but hasn't very sensible effect it.
