Abstract

Two new functions on the semi-infinite interval, namely Rational Gegenbauer (R) and Exponential Gegenbauer (E) functions are proposed to solve the heat transfer problem. The considered problem is flow of MHD micropolar over a moving plate with suction and injection boundary conditions. For applying Tau method efficiently, two matrices of derivative and product for both of rational and exponential Gegenbauer whose enable us to solve a system of nonlinear algebraic equations on the semi-infinite interval were introduced, and an error bound of these functions approximation was estimated which led to have an exponential convergence rate in this method. Moreover, the influence of the important physical parameters on heat and mass transfer phenomena are studied with details. Comparing the results of Rational Gegenbauer Tau and Exponential Gegenbauer Tau methods with available analytical and numerical solutions shows that the present methods are efficient and have fast convergence rate and high accuracy. This method can solve a set of coupled nonlinear and high-order differential equations on a semi-infinite domain by converting to a set of linear equations.
