A comparative analysis of MHD Casson and Maxwell flows past a stretching sheet with mixed convection and chemical reaction

In this study, we have explored the stagnation point flow of magnetohydrodynamic Casson and Maxwell flows through an extending surface. Influences of various physical factors on the Casson and Maxwell flows are discussed in this article. Convergence analysis of the applied technique called HAM is shown in the figures. Comparison of the current analysis with the earlier available literature is also done and has found an outstanding alignment. It is found that the direct relation of angle of inclination with magnetic parameter has significantly reduced the Casson flow as compared to the Maxwell flow. The stagnation number has greater impact on the Casson flow as compared to the Maxwell flow. The thermal and concentration buoyancy parameters have significantly improved the velocity profile of the Maxwell fluid as compared to the Casson fluid. Because of the convective boundary condition, Biot number improved the temperature. Also, the thermal radiation, and non-uniform heat source/sink factors have increased the temperature profile of the fluids. These impressions are superior for the Casson fluid associated to the Maxwell fluid. The greater thermophoresis parameter has growing impact on concentration profile, while the greater Schmidt number, Brownian motion, and chemical reaction parameter have inverse relation with the concentration profile.
