In this research, natural convection of a non-Newtonian copper-water nanofluid between two infinite parallel vertical flat plates is investigated. The basic partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using the differential transformation method. The results obtained using the differential transformation method and those from a numerical method are in good agreement which demonstrates the ability of the differential transformation method to solve such problems. It is shown that as the nanoparticle volume fraction increases, the momentum boundary layer thickness increases, whereas the thermal boundary layer thickness decreases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
