COMBINED INFLUENCE OF BROWNIAN MOTION AND THERMOPHORESIS ON MAXWELL THREE-DIMENSIONAL NANOFLUID FLOW OVER STRETCHING SHEET WITH CHEMICAL REACTION AND THERMAL RADIATION

The current investigation discovers the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat and mass transfer three-dimensional boundary layer flow of Maxwell nanofluid through a stretching sheet. The mathematical formulation of flow, heat, and mass transfer is presented through the boundary layer equations under convective boundary conditions. The resulting nonlinear boundary layer partial differential equations are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations through the suitable similarity transformation technique. The subsequent nonlinear equations are solved using a finite-element method to scrutinize the sway of pertinent constraints on hydrodynamic, temperature, and concentration sketches in the boundary layer regime. The values of local skin-friction coefficient, rates of temperature and rates of concentration are also investigated numerically. The results indicate that with intensifying values of Deborah number the velocity profiles deteriorate, whereas the temperature profiles increase.
