Impact of thermal radiation and Joule heating on MHD mixed convection flow of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretching sheet using homotopy analysis method

A mathematical model has been developed to study the Joule heating effect on mixed convection MHD dissipative and radiative flow of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid due to a stretching sheet with power law heat flux, heat source/sink and suction. Similarity transformations are adopted to acquire ordinary differential equations from the governed partial differential equations. Series solutions are procured for these ordinary differential equations by admitting homotopy analysis method (HAM). A decisive way of convergence of series solutions is also provided. Characteristics of dissonant parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are collected and discussed through graphs and tables. It is seen that the velocity enhances with an increase in Deborah number. Further the temperature is a depreciating function of Deborah number.
