Abstract

The similarity solution for the MHD Hiemenz flow against a flat plate with variable wall temperature in a porous medium gives a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. These equations are solved analytically by using a novel analytical method (DTM-Padé technique which is a combination of the differential transform method and the Padé approximation). This method is applied to give solutions of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions at infinity. Graphical results are presented to investigate influence of the Prandtl number, permeability parameter, Hartmann number and suction/blowing parameter on the velocity and temperature profiles.
