Abstract
The recent study deals with the numerical analysis of an unsteady Maxwell nanofluid flow passing through a porous stretch surface with slip boundary condition with chemical reaction effect using Buongiorno's mathematical model. The water based fluid and the gold nanoparticles (Au) are preferred for this study. The similarity transformations are applied to renovate the governing model equations into a set of ordinary non-linear differential equations. The solutions of the coupled non-linear dimensionless equations are numerically decoded using the Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting method together with the Runge-Kutta iterative technique for various values of the flow control parameters. In addition, the built-in function bvp4c of MATLAB is used to enhance the consistency of numerical results. The numerical results are graphically demonstrated and narrated from the physical point of view for the non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, as well as the local coefficient of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for different parameters of materials, such as the volume fraction parameter, Deborah number, unsteadiness, slip, stretching, suction and chemical reaction parameters. It is witnessed that the heat transfer rate is widely controlled by the Deborah number for Au-water nanofluid. The outcomes of this analysis clearly indicate the considerable influence of the suction imposed in the model.
