Multiple Slips and Radiation Effects on Maxwell Nanofluid Flow Over a Permeable Stretching Surface with Dissipation

摘要

A steady flow, heat and mass transfer of an incompressible Maxwell nanofluid with slip boundary conditions over a permeable stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation has been considered. The governing momentum, heat and mass transfer equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The resultant equations are solved numerically by using Matlab bvp4c package. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically for various flow pertinent parameters and the physical quantities such as Skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are computed for different values of governing parameters. The accuracy of the method is compared with the existing results and they are found to be in good agreement for different values of the governing parameters. It is noted that the velocity decreases whereas the temperature and concentration increase with the increase of Maxwell parameter.
