Time‐based thin film flow for maxwell nanofluid on an inclined stretching sheet with double diffusion

Abstract

AbstractIn this investigation, the thin‐film flow of Maxwell nanofluid has been considered on an inclined stretched sheet by using the idea of double diffusion. Non‐Newtonian fluids are mostly used in biological processing, chemical reactions, and industrial applications. Magnetic effects have been applied to the flow system in the normal direction. The variable thickness of the liquid film varied during the double diffusion under the influence of the embedded parameters. Equations that handled the flow phenomenon have been changed to dimension‐free format and then have been solved by employing the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The substantial parameters were traced out during the conversion of flow equations and discussed theoretically using a graphical view. Higher values of the double diffusion parameters decay the thermal and concentration profiles. It has been revealed in this study that fluid motion has retarded with augmenting values of magnetic field effects, unsteadiness parameter, and thin‐film thickness. Temperature distribution upsurges with higher values of Brownian motion, and thermophoresis parameters while decreasing with growth in film thickness factor and thermal Maxwell parameter. Concentration profiles upsurge with augmenting values of thermophoresis parameter and retard with growth in Brownian motion.
