Abstract
This study examines the flow dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of Maxwell fluid in a channel influenced by magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), Joule heating, thermal radiation, and boundary layer suction/blowing effects. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) for momentum, energy, and concentration are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations. The boundary value problem (BVP) is solved numerically using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB, yielding accurate solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles under various parameters. Key findings reveal that the porous parameter decreases the velocity profile but increases the temperature profile for both suction and blowing effects. Additionally, the MHD, Deborah, and Eckert numbers significantly influence the velocity and temperature profiles differently under these conditions. This study highlights the crucial role of integrating MHD, thermal, and boundary control effects to optimize performance and efficiency in engineering systems involving Maxwell fluids, with applications in polymer processing, biomedical engineering, electronics cooling, oil recovery, and chemical processing.
