Heat transfer enrichment in magnetohydrodynamic cylindrical flow of Maxwell fluid with thermal radiation and Stefan blowing effects

Abstract

Energy transfer and boundary layer flow on a stretching cylinder are used in extrusion procedures, fiber technology, the manufacture of polymer sheets, and the creation of plastic films. In view of these applications, this article examines a transport model for a boundary layer flow with magnetohydrodynamics derived from a Maxwell fluid flow under the influence of radiation, Brownian motion, thermo phoresies and Stefan blowing on a stretching cylinder. Using MATLAB bvp4c function, the governing equations are numerically solved after being changed into ordinary differential equations via similarity renovations. Calculations and analyses determined how various emergent parameters affected the flow field, heat transfer and mass transfer. Some characteristics were discovered to affect the width of the boundary layer. The influence on MHD (M), radiation (Rd), the Schmidt number (Stc), Brownian motion (Nb), thermo phoresies (Nt) and the Stefan blowing parameter (Sb) on the velocity, energy and concentration profile have been explored. Excellent assessment is recognized over a tabular explanation to validate the adopted numerical technique. Significantly the Stefan blowing parameter rises the profiles on velocity and temperature. For an increasing value of the Maxwell fluid parameter, the skin friction coefficient decreases compared to the Stefan parameter.
