Diffusion-thermo and thermo-diffusion impacts on MHD natural convection flow of maxwell nanofluids over a stretching sheet
Abstract
The present study carried out significant importance in its magnetic field and crosswise diffusion influenced the Maxwell nanofluid flow past a nonlinear stretching sheet. This investigation aimed to shed light on the behavior of critical parameters, particularly in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The primary aim is to investigate the impact of thermal diffusion, diffusion-thermo, and various influencing factors on a Maxwell nanofluid near a stretching sheet in the magnetic field, and the impact of three distinct slip conditions (velocity, thermal, and solutal). The partial differential equations by the nonlinear coefficients are utilized in obtaining the most important equations. These equations are distorting to beneficial nonlinear ordinary differential equations making use of the appropriate transformations variables and transformation coefficients. To investigating the computational solutions for the reducing sets of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations, these were developing and utilized the Keller box methodology. The simulations are carried out the nanofluids velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficients, the rate of temperature transport, in addition to the rate of mass transportation, amongst previous variables. The validations of this methodology are displayed via the comparison of the present outputs through the preceding judgments into the literatures. The major conclusions drawn from this study are the concentration profiles exhibited opposing behaviours as concentration slip parameter increased. However, the temperature profile increases for Brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter parameters. Secondly, concentration displayed an increasing behavior as the Soret number increased.
