Heat transfer analysis of inclined magnetic field and activation energy in Maxwell nanofluid with thermophoresis effects

Abstract

AbstractNumerical analysis is performed for incompressible Maxwell nanofluid model flow under the implications of thermophoresis and inclined magnetic field over a convectively stretched surface. The system that comprises differential equations of partial derivatives is remodeled into the system of ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations and then solved through by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg with shooting technique. The physical parameters, which emerge from the derived system, are discussed in graphical formats. Excellent proficiency in the numerical process is analyzed by comparing the results with available literature in limiting scenarios. The significant outcomes of the current investigation are that the velocity field decays for higher fluid parameters while that peter out the fluid temperature. Further, the heat transfer rate is reduced with the incremental values of fluid and thermophoresis parameters while it uplifts with Biot and Prandtl numbers.
