Impact of thermal diffusion and diffusion-thermal effects on MHD Maxwell fluid subject to Newtonian heat and mass conditions over a stretching cylinder

Abstract

Current research's main focus is to incorporate the novel idea of Newtonian flux condition in MHD stretching flow of Maxwell liquid with Stefan blowing. An analysis is done to explore the heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD Maxwell fluid towards a stretching cylinder, including thermal diffusion and diffusion-thermal energy implications in the presence of activation energy. Polar coordinates (z, r) in the shape of a cylinder are used to model the issue. To convert controlling PDEs into ODEs, similarity the variables are used. The governing equations of motion that result are tackled via the notorious R-K 4th order approach. Through graphical portrayal, the impacts of various factors, including curvature, magnetics, Stefan blowing, reaction, and activation energy parameters, are studied. Furthermore, the validation of numerical findings is prepared by benchmarking with previously determined limiting conditions, and we launch a wonderful communication with these results.
