Abstract
Cross-diffusion and stratification (thermal/solutal) effects on the transport of non-Newtonian nanofluid are analyzed in this investigation. Upper-convected Maxwell model is chosen to depict the non-Newtonian behavior. The flow is considered to be bounded by a stationary flat plate from one side. This phenomenon is formulated mathematically under boundary layer approximation which is further solved by the numerical procedure of Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg along with Newton-Raphson shooting scheme. Effects of appearing parameters are elaborated with the help of tables and figures. It is expected that the stratification and diffusion processes will help in the storage and transport of energy through the moving non-Newtonian nanofluid. It is found that Soret number and solutal stratification have similar impacts on temperature. Moreover, Dufour number and thermal stratification have adverse impacts on temperature/concentration.
