    Abstract: The Hall effect on MHD Couette flow and heat transfer between two parallel plates in a rotating channel is investigated. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the plates and the flow is induced by the effects of Coriolis force, moving upper plate and the constant pressure gradients. Cu-water, Al2O3-water and TiO2-water nanofluids are compar... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, non – linear finite fuzzy Volterra integral equation of the second kind (NFVIEK2) is considered. The Homotopy analysis method will be used to solve it, and comparing with the exact solution and calculate the absolute error between them. Some numerical examples are prepared to show the efficiency and simplicity of the method.
