Abstract
Heat transfer enhancement in various energy systems is vital because of the increase in energy prices. In recent years, nanofluids technology is proposed and studied by some researchers experimentally or numerically to control heat transfer in a process. In this paper, an unsteady incompressible three-dimensional mixed convection rotating flow of viscous fluid between two infinite vertical plane walls is investigated analytically using Galerkin optimal homotopy asymptotic method (GOHAM). We also consider the viscous dissipation effects. Such a consideration is significant, because the viscous dissipation effects (the generation of heat due to friction caused by shear in the flow) are important when the fluid is largely viscous or flowing at a high speed. The effects of the emerging parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied and examined.
