Effects of Heat Transfer on Flow of MHD Maxwell Nanofluid on Stretching and Shrinking Surfaces.

Abstract

In present article, there is studied heat, and the mass transfer characteristics of boundary layer flow of the Maxwell-nanofluid across stretching/shrinking surface along chemical reactions, transverse magnetic field and thermal radiation. Applying similarity transformation, the system of governing nonlinear PDEs are reduced into form of ODEs. The achieved equations are solved with help of bvp4c in Matlab computer software. The impacts of specified parameters include, suction parameter, Deborah number, magnetic parameter, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reaction parameter, Schmidt number, Brownian motion parameter, Prandlt number and thermal slip parameter are examined on velocity, temperature and nanoparticles concentration fields (profiles). Moreover, skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are achieved at numerous values of applied parameters which are demonstrated through graphs. Some of the key findings show that an increase in suction increases skin friction, Nusselt number and Shewood number along the variation of the stretching/shrinking parameter  An increase in thermophoresis, magnetic and Brownian motion parameters increase the temperature fields of Maxwell nanofluid, while Deborah number, Prandtl number, suction parameter and thermal slip parameter decrease it.
