Effects of Chemical Species and Nonlinear Thermal Radiation with 3D Maxwell Nanofluid Flow with Double Stratification—An Analytical Solution

Abstract

This article elucidates the magnetohydrodynamic 3D Maxwell nanofluid flow with heat absorption/generation effects. The impact of the nonlinear thermal radiation with a chemical reaction is also an added feature of the presented model. The phenomenon of flow is supported by thermal and concentration stratified boundary conditions. The boundary layer set of non-linear PDEs (partial differential equation) are converted into ODEs (ordinary differential equation) with high nonlinearity via suitable transformations. The homotopy analysis technique is engaged to regulate the mathematical analysis. The obtained results for concentration, temperature and velocity profiles are analyzed graphically for various admissible parameters. A comparative statement with an already published article in limiting case is also added to corroborate our presented model. An excellent harmony in this regard is obtained. The impact of the Nusselt number for distinct parameters is also explored and discussed. It is found that the impacts of Brownian motion on the concentration and temperature distributions are opposite. It is also comprehended that the thermally stratified parameter decreases the fluid temperature.

Magnetic Dipole and Thermophoretic Particle Deposition Impact on Bioconvective Oldroyd-B Fluid Flow over a Stretching Surface with Cattaneo–Christov Heat Flux

“…Rehman et al [39] explored the mixed convection, stratification, and heat generation/absorption effects on Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow over an inclined stretching cylinder. Stratification with different flow regimes is studied by many other researchers [17,36,38,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

Semi-Analytical Investigation on MHD Oldroyd-B Nanofluid Flow Under Stratification Conditions via an Exponentially Stretching Surface

“…Daniel et al [29] studied the stratified convective MHD nanofluid flow. Tlili et al [30] examined an analytical solution for 3D Maxwell nanofluid flow considering the effects of radiation and chemical reactions under double stratification conditions. Mallawi et al [31] investigated the effects of radiation and double-stratification on non-Newtonian liquid convective flow with Cattaneo-Christov double-flux in a Riga plate.…”

Forced Convection of MHD Radiative Jeffrey Nanofluid Over a Moving Plate

“…An experiment conducted by Choi and Eastman [9] has proved that the incorporation of nanoparticles in the non-Newtonian fluids had greatly boosted the fluid thermal capability. To date, many have considered the inclusion of nanoparticles in non-Newtonian fluids, for instance Shah et al, [10] in casson fluid, Waqas et al, [11] in viscoelastic fluid, Zokri et al, [12] in Jeffrey fluid, Zulkifli et al, [13] in micropolar fluid and Tlili et al, [14] in Maxwell fluid. Their studies have highlighted that the random movement of nanoparticles, namely the Brownian motion parameter, helps in enhancing the thermal conductivity.…”
