MHD slip flow of upper-convected Maxwell nanofluid over a stretching sheet with chemical reaction

Abstract

The present study scrutinizes slip effects and stagnation point flows of upperconvected Maxwell fluid past a stretching sheet. The non-linear ordinary differential equations are obtained from the governing partial differential equations and solved using implicit finite difference method. The impacts of non-dimensional governing parameters such as Brownian motion parameter, velocity ratio, velocity slip parameter, suction/injection parameter, Lewis numbers, upper-convected Maxwell parameter, magnetic field, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reactions parameter, thermal slip parameter, solutal slip parameter, and heat source parameter on the velocity field, heat and mass transfer characteristics are discussed and presented through graphs. The values of local Sherwood number, local Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are discussed and presented through tables. The results indicate that when the magnetic field is intensified, it reduces velocity profiles and raises temperature and concentration profiles. Moreover, with an upsurge in velocity slip parameter, the local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number diminish.

Impact of Activation Energy and Temperature-Dependent Heat Source/Sink on Maxwell–Sutterby Fluid

“…Koriko et al [8] analyzed the conduct of thermal stratification and nonlinear thermal radiation on micropolar fluid moving over a vertical surface. e phenomenon of heat transfer has been investigated by many researchers [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Significance of exponential space‐based heat source and inclined magnetic field on heat transfer of hybrid nanoliquid with homogeneous–heterogeneous chemical reactions

“…Barik et al 5 examined the chemically reactive nanofluid past an inclined elongated sheet with slip conditions. Ibrahim and Negera 6 investigated the upper‐convected Maxwell nanoliquid with chemical reaction. Rehman et al 7 studied the heat transfer analysis of Casson nanofluid in a magnetized rotatory flow field and found that Casson fluid temperature enhances toward higher values of thermophoresis and heat generation parameters.…”

Roles of nanoparticles and heat generation/absorption on MHD flow of Ag–H2O nanofluid via porous stretching/shrinking convergent/divergent channel

“…They also found that the rate of heat transfer declined as there was increase in the heat generation/absorption values. Similarly, in several other studies, the characteristic of heat transfer was analyzed due to the fluid flow over stretching sheet [18][19][20]. Ganga et al [21] explored viscous and Ohmic dissipation effects on MHD flow subjected to an upright plate in addition to heat generation/absorption effect on nanofluid.…”
