abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper investigates the laminar boundary
layer flow of nanofluid induced by a radially stretching sheet. Nanofluid
model exhibiting Brownian motion and thermophoresis is used. Series
solutions for a reduced system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations
are obtained by homotopy analysis method (HAM). Comparative study between
the HAM solutions and previously published numerical results shows an
excellent agreement. Velocity, temperature and mass fraction are displayed
for various values of parameters. The local skin friction coefficient, the
local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are computed. It is
observed that the presence of nanoparticles enhances the thermal
conductivity of base fluid. It is found that the convective heat transfer
coefficient (Nusselt number) is decreased with an increase in concentration
of nanoparticles whereas Sherwood number increases when concentration of
nanoparticles in the base fluid is increased.</p>},
