Abstract
This study tackles the contrasting evaluation of Williamson and Maxwell nanofluid flow over a shrinking surface with heat source and thermal radiation. Surface considerations also include concentration and thermal slip circumstances. By inserting similarity variables, the controlling set of partial differential equations is converted to a system of ordinary differential equations. The Galerkin weighted residual technique is utilized to solve the non-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. The figures for both nanofluids show the findings achieved for the various controlling parameters over the concentration, temperature, and velocity profiles. Additionally, the physical significance is assessed. It is evident that both fluids' velocity distributions are improving as the suction and magnetic parameters rise. In the meantime, the velocity distribution of the Maxwell nanofluid is larger than that of the Williamson nanofluid. The thermal and concentration profiles exhibit contrasting trends as the values of the thermal slip and concentration slip parameters rise. However, compared to the Maxwell nanofluid, the thermal gradient of the Williamson nanofluid grows faster with increasing amount of the heat source parameter. For both nanofluids, the amount of Sherwood number improves with rising Schmidt number and falls with higher concentration slip parameter. Notably, in contrast to the Williamson nanofluid, the Maxwell nanofluid has a higher Sherwood number.
