Applications of Soret and Dufour effects for Maxwell nanomaterial by convectively heated surface.

AbstractThe intension of recent analysis is to discuss the radiated magnetized flow of Maxwell nanoliquid. Flow is induced due to stretching the surface. Convective and zero mass flux conditions are taken into account. Influence of Soret and Dufour are under consideration. Internal heat source, magnetic field and thermal radiation are discussed in energy expression. Random diffusion and thermophoresis characteristics in presence of chemical reaction are deliberated. Thermal conductivity and viscosity depend upon temperature. Similarity transformation is utilized to transform nonlinear partial differential systems into ordinary systems. ND-solve technique is used to get the numerical solutions for nonlinear nondimensional system. Graphical analysis for flow, concentration and thermal distribution <italic>versus</italic> emerging variables are examined. Computational outcomes for solutal transport rate and Nusselt number <italic>via</italic> sundry variables are explored. Velocity profile declines against magnetic field, whereas reverse trend found for temperature profile. Thermal field has increasing trend for thermal Biot and Dufour numbers. Larger Maxwell variable has opposite effect on flow field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
