Abstract: The steady laminar flow of a third grade fluid with heat transfer through a flat channel is studied. We propose and apply a linearisation method (SLM) and an improved spectral-homotopy analysis method (ISHAM) to obtain approximate analytical solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles. The methods are primarily based on blending non-perturbation techniques with Chebyshev spectral methods to produce efficient algorithms for solving highly nonlinear systems. The effects of the Brinkman number, pressure gradient and the non-Newtonian parameter on the velocity, temperature, skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are discussed. Exact solutions are also constructed and compared with the SLM and ISHAM solutions.
