Effects of Activation Energy and Diffusion Thermo an Unsteady MHD Maxwell Fluid Flow over a Porous Vertical Stretched Sheet in the Presence of Thermophoresis and Brownian Motion

This article discusses the effects of Activation energy and Diffusion thermo on an unsteady MHD flow of an electrically conducting Maxwell Nanofluid over a stretching sheet in a porous medium in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Using the similarity transformations, the partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum, energy, and concentration equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a RungeKutta fourth-order method along with the shooting technique, and the results obtained for different governing flow parameters are drawn graphically, and their effects on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are discussed. The values of the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number coefficient, and Sherwood number coefficient are presented in the table. A comparison with previously reported data is made, and an excellent agreement is noted. The objective of the present study is to use the Activation energy and Diffusion thermo parameters to increase the concentration of chemical species on the boundary layer and temperature, respectively. The temperature of the fluid increases as the radiation parameter, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and magnetic parameters increase.
