Theoretical treatment of bio-convective Maxwell nanofluid over an exponentially stretching sheet

Abstract

The heat and mass transfer of unsteady two-dimensional flow of a bio-convective non-Newtonian Maxwell nanofluid past an exponentially stretching sheet is presented. A viscous dissipation and external magnetic field along multiple slip conditions and chemical reactions are incorporated. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to the system of ordinary differential equations by applying suitable transformations. Using the bvp4c -shooting technique, we were able to solve the boundary value problem. The influence of the obtained parameters are deliberated graphically on the velocity, concentration, temperature, and microorganism profile. The tabulated values of skin friction, Nusselt number, mass flux rate, and microorganism rate along various parameters are computed and examined. The findings show that the value of the skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and microorganism number decline due to enhancement in the time relaxation parameter.
