Abstract

This investigation focuses on the nanoparticle shape effect on the flow of conducting non-Newtonian Maxwell nanoliquid through an absorptive expanding surface. Insertion of inertial drag due to the Darcy–Forchheimer model and the dissipative heat in the flow phenomena supplements the work. The thermal properties of the fluid show its important role because of the use of various thermophysical models such as the Gharesim model of viscosity and the Mintsa model of thermal conductivity. The proposed mathematical model is designed by the implementation of suitable similarity transformations and then a numerical scheme is adopted to solve the transformed phenomena. In particular, shooting-based traditional Runge–Kutta (RK) fourth order is implemented for the solution. The behavior of the parameters that are participating in the flow phenomena is deployed via graphs and the computation of the engineering coefficients is displayed in tables. The impression of innumerable governing flow constraints is interpreted with the validation of these investigations with the earlier investigation. However, the major outcomes are; the particle concentration contributes its significant characteristics in enhancing the fluid velocity as well as temperature for the increasing shape. The dissipative heat formulated by the Eckert number also augments the fluid temperature in association with the thermal radiation whereas the unsteadiness parameter retards it significantly.
