Abstract

In the present study, we have analyzed the effects of variable viscosity, variable thermocapillarity on the flow and heat transfer in a thin film on a horizontal porous shrinking sheet through a porous medium. The unsteady boundary layer equations for momentum and thermal energy are simplified by using similarity transformations. The resulted, coupled nonlinear differential equations are solved by homotopy analysis method. The results are presented graphically to interpret various physical parameters appearing in the problem.
