Thermal and mass aspects of Maxwell fluid flows over a moving inclined surface via generalized Fourier’s and Fick’s laws

Abstract

The fascination with the presentation of features of non-Newtonian fluid is due to practical applications in the food processing, chemical, biomedical, and allied processing industries. The modes class of non-Newtoinian rate-type fluids is Maxwell fluid which has engineering and industrial applications. These applications include the movement of organic liquids, food dispensing, the application of paints, glass fiber, electronic chips, extrusion operations, and papermaking. Due to above said significance the present study is focused on the boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid with Generalized Fourier's and Ficks’ Laws along the moving plate with constant velocity is organized. The mathematical description of the suggested mechanism is given in terms of partial differential equations, which are then converted to ordinary differential equations using the proper similarity transformation and solved via a bvp4c solver. The solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles along with their gradients against the pertinent parameters are obtained and displayed in graphs and tables. It is deduced from the presented results that the velocity field is increasing functions concentration relaxation parameter but decreasing the function of Deborah number, angle of inclination, and thermal relaxation parameter. The temperature and concentration fields show an increasing trend against Deborah's number, and angle of inclination. These show the decreasing trend against the concentration relaxation parameter. A comparison of the present results with previously published results is presented for the validation of current solutions.
