Thermal conductivity is assumed to be linearly related with temperature. The joule heating effects due to magnetic field is also encountered here. Analytical solutions are developed for both momentum and energy equations by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The variations of different parameters on the velocity and temperature distributions along with the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are displayed graphically. Numerical values for the skin friction coefficient are calculated and discussed. © 2016 Author(s). publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. date: 2016 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Jahan, S. and Sakidin, H. and Nazar, R.M.
