Impact of viscous dissipation on MHD flow of Maxwell nanofluid across a linear stretching sheet

Abstract

The viscous dissipation of Maxwell nanofluid movement on a stretching sheet is examined in the present article. Constructed the modelling equalities with assumptions and emerging parameters such as Magnetic parameters, thermophoresis, Brownian motion, and Biot number etc. Convert those equation to simple third-order ODEs by applying stream functions, MATHEMATICA software used to solve ODE by applying the RK method approach with shooting technique. Presented our outcomes graphically by incorporating the parameters. The elasticity of the Maxwell fluid is directly proportional to temperature, resulting in a reduction in its velocity. The factors that affect fluid flow include viscous dissipation, Lewis number, Brownian motion, and the reversibility of temperature and velocity. Increasing the parameters of Brownian motion leads to significant movement of the nanofluid particles, which in turn increases their kinetic energy and enhances heat generation in the boundary layer. The Lorentz force, which hinders the movement of fluid, leads to a decrease in velocity profiles. This is determined by the magnetic parameter. The heat transfer rate, the velocity decay rate, and the occurrence of viscous dissipation are all occurring in close proximity to the sheet. Also, the model tabular validation presented and current results align well with previously published studies. Cancer treatment and the cooling process in industries, polymer processing, biotechnology and medicine, food industry, cosmetics, oil and gas, textiles, aerospace and automotive, and construction are just a few of the technical and biological uses for it. Industries may enhance material performance, process efficiency, and product quality in a variety of applications by using Maxwell fluid models.
