Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence that heat radiation has on the flow of a three-dimensional, viscous, electrically conducting, incompressible, upper-convicted Maxwell nanofluid over a bidirectional stretching surface. Additionally, aspects such as magnetic fields, porous media, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion are taken into consideration. Nonlinear radiative heat transmission is included in the energy equation in the Rosseland approximation version of the equation. For the purpose of resolving the ordinary differential equations that are formed from the reduction of the main governing nonlinear partial differential equations by similarity transformations, the “bvp4c” solver by MATLAB is used. The skin-friction, heat transfer rates, and mass transfer coefficients are analyzed numerically, and visual representations are used to demonstrate the impacts of a large number of important components on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The numerical findings of the study have been evaluated, and it has been determined that they are substantially in accord with the results available in the literature.
