Significance of Variability in Liquid Properties on 3D MHD Maxwell Nanofluid Flows Over a Stretching Surface with Heat Generation/Absorption and Chemical Reaction

Abstract

Objective of the current research investigation is linked with advancement in nanotechnology and fluids flow phenomena subject to various fluid models. The model adopted over here is Maxwell–nanofluid model subject to magnetohydrodynamics impact confined within the dimensions of a bi-directional stretching surface. The boundary is assumed to be convective in the context of thermal state and zero mass flux in the context of nanoparticles. Furthermore, slip condition on velocity and a source of heat generation/absorption is also considered in the flow model. It is pertinent to mention that base fluid is assumed to be chemically reactive by involving first order chemical reaction term in the governing equation of concentration of nanoparticles. So formulated, highly nonlinear set of governing equations is converted into nonlinear ODEs involving various parameters including Brownian diffusion, Deborah number, magnetic parameter, Prandtl and Schmidt number, heat generation/absorption and the first order chemical reaction. The ODEs are solved by a semi-analytic technique of OHAM (Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method). The results are plotted graphically. The obtained findings are compared without available literature in the same direction by assuming special cases on various parameters.
