Abstract
The influence of viscous dissipation on mixed convection laminar flow of a nanofluid in a vertical channel is investigated. A case of Cu–water-based nanofluid is considered employing the Das–Tiwari model. The resultant coupled momentum energy equations are solved using the homotopy analysis method after non-dimensionalization. The influence of pertinent parameters on the flow characteristics is analyzed in both the cases where the channel walls are symmetrically and asymmetrically heated.
