Abstract
In this study, by means of homotopy perturbation method
(HPM) and sixth order Runge-Kutta method an approximate
analytical and numerical solutions of the of viscous ag-water
and Cu-water nanofluids over a porous stretching surface is
obtained. Graphical results are presented to investigate the
influence of the nanoparticles volume fraction parameter and
suction/injection parameter on the velocity and skin friction.
The validity of our solutions is verified by the previous work.
Keywords
