Soret and Dufour effects on the magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow of Maxwell nanofluid past an infinite stretching sheet

Abstract

The authors are interested in understanding how a magnetic field and cross-diffusion influence non-Newtonian Maxwell nanoliquid boundary layer flow towards the non-linearly stretched sheet when there are also thermophoresis as well as Brownian movement effects present in the reference frame. Specifically, the purpose of this research is to learn more about the Maxwell nanofluid properties of a stretched sheet in a normal magnetic field, in addition to the effects of three distinct slip situations (velocity, thermal and solutal). The partially differential equations with non-linear coefficients are used to obtain the leading equations. These equations were distorted into advantageous non-linear ordinary differential equations by using the appropriate transformation variables and transformation coefficients. To investigate the computational resolutions of the reduced set of non-linear ordinary differential equations, it was developed and used the Keller box method, which was developed for numerical solutions. The simulation considers the nanofluid velocity, temperature, concentration, skin frictions coefficient, the rate of temperature transport, as well as the rate of mass transport, among other variables. The validity of this method is shown via the comparisons of the current results by the previous findings in the literature.
