Abstract

In this research work we studied the flow and heat transfer problem of a third grade fluid. It is assumed that the fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The equations governing the flow and heat transfer are solved using the modified Adomian decomposition method (MADM) for the velocity and temperature and the results are presented graphically. The effects of magnetic parameter are analyzed for velocity and temperature profile. It is noticed that increase in magnetic parameter reduced the velocity of the fluid and increases the temperature profile.
