Maxwell nanofluid heat and mass transfer analysis over a stretching sheet

The Buongiorno model Maxwell nanofluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics over a stretching sheet with a magnetic field, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction is numerically investigated in this analysis. This model incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using the similarity transformation technique. The resultant nonlinear differential equations are solved by using the Finite element method. The sketches of velocity, temperature and concentration with diverse values of magnetic field parameter (0.1 ≤ M ≤ 1.5), Deborah number (0.0 ≤ β ≤ 0.19), radiation parameter (0.1 ≤ R ≤ 0.7), Prandtl number (0.5 ≤ Pr ≤ 0.8), Brownian motion parameter (0.1 ≤ Nb ≤ 0.7), thermophoretic parameter (0.2 ≤ Nt ≤ 0.8), Chemical reaction parameter (1.0 ≤ Cr ≤ 2.5) and Lewis number (1.5 ≤ Le ≤ 3.0) have investigated and are depicted through plots. Moreover, the values of the Skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood numbers are also computed and are shown in tables. The sequels of this analysis reviewed that the values of Skin-friction coefficient and Sherwood number intensified with hiked values of Deborah number (β), whereas, the values of Nusselt number decelerate as values of (β) improves.
