Reactive flow dynamics of conductive Maxwell nanofluids past heated stretching surfaces with slip and thermal radiation

In this paper, we thoroughly examine the influences of slip effects and stagnation point flows in the context of an upper-convected non-Newtonian Maxwell nanofluid interacting with a stretching sheet. The existence of a heat generation, transverse magnetic field, and thermal radiation induces a flow resulting from a linearly stretched sheet. The application of the shooting method involves deriving nonlinear ordinary differential equations from the governing partial differential equations, followed by their solution. The effects of dimensionless governing parameters, including velocity ratio, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, velocity slip parameter, Lewis numbers, solutal slip parameter, Maxwell parameter, magnetic number, Eckert number, thermal slip parameter, chemical reactions parameter, and heat source parameter, are examined. The outcomes are illustrated and discussed through graphical representations, showcasing their impact on the velocity field, as well as heat and mass transfer characteristics. Tabular data are generated to display numerical values for physical parameters, including the skin-friction coefficient, local Sherwood number, and the reduced local Nusselt number. The findings suggest that an increase in the velocity slip parameter results in a reduction of both the local Sherwood number and the local Nusselt number. Furthermore, an increase in the strength of the magnetic field leads to a decrease in velocity profiles while simultaneously elevating temperature and concentration profiles.
