摘要
In this study, we investigated the 2D MHD flow of a dissipative Maxwell nanofluid past an elongated sheet with uneven heat source/sink, Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects. The flow governing PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ODEs adopting the suitable similarity transmissions. Further, the RK-4 technique is employed to acquire the numerical solutions. The impact of pertinent parameters such as thermal radiation, frictional heating, irregular heat source/sink, biot number, Brownian moment and thermophoresis on the flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields likewise friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are bestowed with the succour of graphs and tables. Dual nature is witnessed for Newtonian and non- Newtonian fluid cases. It is noticed that the heat and mass transfer rate in Newtonian fluid larger as compared with non-Newtonian fluid. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
