Abstract

In many industrial products stretching surfaces and magnetohydrodynamics are being used. The purpose of this article is to analyze magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid with nanomaterials in a surface which is stretching exponentially. Thermophoretic and Brownian motion effects are incorporated using Buongiorno model. The given partial differential system is converted into nonlinear ordinary differential system by employing adequate self-similarity transformations. Locally series solutions are computed using BVPh 2.0 for wide range of governing parameters. It is observed that the flow is expedite for higher Deborah and Hartman numbers. The impact of thermophoresis parameter on the temperature profile is minimal. Mathematically, this study describes the reliability of BVPh 2.0 and physically we may conclude the study of stretching surfaces for non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid in the presence of nanoparticles can be used to obtain desired qualities.

Summary

Introduction

Heat transfer and magnetohydrodynamics in the boundary layer flows are important research topics due to their usage in industry and metallurgy. Patil et al.[14] obtained non-similar solutions for such flows for stretching surface considering mixed convection, double diffusion and viscous dissipation effects. Few other studies with reference to the flow and heat transfer characteristics of viscous and non-viscous fluids over surfaces which are stretching exponentially can be found through the refs therein[15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. The studies related to non-Newtonian fluids have generated considerable interest in recent times This is as a result of their numerous utilizations in industrial products. In view of aforementioned discussion, the MHD flow of non-viscous Maxwell fluid with nanomaterials in an exponentially stretching surface is addressed. Temperature, concentration, the local Sherwood and the local Nusselt number are examined through graphs
