We present a new modification of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving nonlinear boundary value problems. The technique is based on the standard homotopy perturbation method, and blending of the Chebyshev pseudospectral methods. The implementation of the new approach is demonstrated by solving the Jeffery-Hamel flow considering the effects of magnetic field and nanoparticle. Comparisons are made between the proposed technique, the standard homotopy perturbation method, and the numerical solutions to demonstrate the applicability, validity, and high accuracy of the present approach. The results demonstrate that the new modification is more efficient and converges faster than the standard homotopy perturbation method.

In this current work, the heat transfer analysis for the unsteady squeezing magnetohydrodynamic flow of a viscous nanofluid between two parallel plates in the presence of thermal radiation, viscous and magnetic dissipations impacts, considering Fourier heat flux model have been explored. The partial differential equations representing flow model are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing a similarity transformation. The dimensionless and nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the velocity and temperatures functions obtained are solved by employing the homotopy perturbation method. The effects of different parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are examined graphically, and numerical calculations for the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are tabulated. It is found an excellent agreement in the comparative study with literature results. This present numerical exploration has great relevance, consequently a better understanding of the squeezing flow phenomena in the hydraulic lifts, power transmission, nano gastric tubes, reactor fluidization areas.

This work investigates the mathematical model and solution for an unsteady MHD fourth grade fluid flow over a vertical plate in a porous medium with the effects of the magnetic field and suction/injection parameters using Homotopy Perturbation Method. The flow is considered to satisfy the constitutive equations of fourth grade fluid flow model and because of the Homotopy Perturbation Method used, only the momentum equation with initial and boundary conditions are solved as governing equations. After initializing stability test, the convergence of the governing equations are observed graphically using the results of Homotopy Perturbation Method with the new analytical method used by Yurusoy in literature and there is a perfect agreement in results. The impact of dimensionless second, third and fourth grade parameters with the effects of magnetic field and suction/injection parameters on the velocity field are displayed graphically and discussed. Increase in suction parameter decreases the momentum boundary layer thickness while injection parameter enhances velocity distribution in the boundary layer. Magnetic field reduces velocity throughout the boundary layer because the Lorentz force which acts as retarding force reduces the boundary layer thickness.
