A new analytical approach for the research of thin‐film flow of magneto hydrodynamic fluid in the presence of thermal conductivity and variable viscosity

In this endeavor thin‐film flow of magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) fluid in the presence of thermal conductivity and variable viscosity over a porous steady stretching surface with a magnetic field and radioactive heat fluctuation is studied. In this phenomenon the viscosity vary inversely and thermal conductivity directly with temperature. The nonlinear coupled differential equations for the velocity and temperature profiles are achieved and solved by using a new analytical approach, called 3 rd form of Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM‐3). The proposed technique consists of initial guess, embedding parameter, optimal convergence control parameters, auxiliary functions and homotopy. Numerical (ND‐Solve Method) solutions are also achieved and compared with the results gained by the proposed method. The fast convergence of the applied new method and the influence of different physical nondimensional parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are mainly focused in this research.
