Abstract
This paper develops a theoretical model to analyse heat transport characteristics of a methanol based iron oxide nanofluid flow within a horizontal porous channel. Analytical solution of temperature distribution is obtained with the uniform heat flux at the channel wall for the model with the viscous dissipation term in the equation of energy conservancy. The impact of the parameters of anisotropy (orientation angle and anisotropic permeability ratio) of the permeable region on the hydrodynamic characteristics and rate of heat flow of the nanofluid under convection inside the channel is presented. The singular behavior of the Nusselt number is shown.
