Simultaneous effects of heat generation/absorption and thermal radiation in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of Maxwell nanofluid towards a stretched surface

Abstract Mathematical analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional nonlinear convective flow of Maxwell nanofluid towards a stretching surface is made in this article. Characteristics of heat transfer are examined under thermal radiation, heat generation/absorption and prescribed heat flux condition. Nanofluid model includes Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Dimensional nonlinear expressions of momentum, energy and concentration are converted into dimensionless systems by invoking suitable similarity variables. A well-known homotopic technique is implemented for dimensionless expressions. Impact of different quantities on velocities, temperature and concentration are scrutinized graphically and discussed in detail. The expressions of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are calculated and addressed comprehensively. It is also seen that thermal radiation parameter enhances the temperature field and heat transfer rate.
