Abstract
A numerical model is developed to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a two-dimensional Maxwell nanofluid flow over an expanding/shrinking surface under the influence of thermal radiation and an induced magnetized force. The governing nonlinear differential equations, which account for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects and viscoelastic fluid behavior, are solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method. The study aims to obtain detailed profiles for velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions under varying physical parameters.
The results indicate that the Deborah number significantly enhances the flow velocity due to the elastic nature of the Maxwell fluid. An increase in the magnetic parameter (M) leads to a suppression of the velocity field as a result of the Lorentz force while simultaneously strengthening the induced magnetic field. The thermal radiation parameter (Nr) positively impacts the temperature distribution, thereby increasing the thermal boundary layer thickness. Furthermore, the Lewis number (Le) is found to reduce concentration levels, indicating dominant thermal over mass diffusivity.
Overall, the study provides new insights into the coupled effects of magnetic induction, radiative heat transfer, and fluid elasticity on nanofluid transport behaviour, which has practical implications in material processing, energy systems, and biomedical engineering applications.
