Thermal diffusion of Maxwell nanoparticles with diverse flow features: Lie group simulations

Abstract

The thermal onset of nanoparticles is quite impressive and dynamical and subsequently report significance in the thermal systems, heat transfer enhancement, engineering processes, cooling phenomenon, heating devices etc. Following such motivations in mind, current exploration reports the thermal impact of magnetized Maxwell nanofluid with mixed convection and radiative applications. The external source of heat and chemical reaction has also been introduced to report the thermal transportation phenomenon. The convective boundary conditions are entertained to investigate the problem. The system of partial differential equation is altered into ordinary differential equation by following the Li group approach. The numerical simulations computed by using the Runge–Kutta (RK-4) scheme. The eeffects of different controlling parameters are physically attributed flow fields. The results convey that a reduction in velocity is observed for mass transfer parameter and buoyancy constant while the reverse pattern of velocity is observed for Rayleigh number. Moreover, the presence of external heat source improves the thermal profile. The simulated results may present applications in enhancement of heat transfer, thermal systems, extrusion processes, solar energy, transportation systems, plasma etc.
